Audax UK: Go the Distance!

Audax UK is the world's largest long-distance cycling club. Individual rides are non-competitive, although we set a (generous) time limit if you want to score points for our annual championships or qualify for awards. Above all though, audax is about enjoying cycling, in the company of others or solo, and our routes are designed to help you do that. We organise rides in three formats, described below

Ride together

Calendar Events are our scheduled rides, with group starts - typically between 20 and 150 riders. Distances vary from 50km to 1000+. Every year we have hundreds of events, starting all over the country. Follow the links for more details and the calendar of events

 

Ride when it suits you

Permanent Events are rides that you can start any time. You can ride on your own or with friends. Distances vary from 50km to 1000+ and there are hundreds of routes across the country, and a few overseas Follow the links for more details and the list of events

 

Ride your own route

DIY Events are rides where you design the route. You can ride on your own or with a group. You can choose any of the standard distances, and can record progress using gpx or by nominating controls. Follow the link for more information

We have our own classic - London-Edinburgh-London, the next edition of which is coming up in 2025
