CALENDAR events take place at the time and place specified by the Organiser and are a great way to meet other long-distance cyclists. Get your entries to the Organiser 2 weeks before the ride date, so we can warn the cafe controls how many to expect.

| PERMANENTs are perhaps for more experienced riders as you get a route sheet, a list of control locations where you might reasonably expect to be able to get proof of passage, but otherwise you are on your own. Make sure you get an entry form to the organiser in good time in case the organiser is on holiday.

| Peak Audax also administers the Randonneurs Round the Year award on behalf of AUK, so if you think you qualify (by riding a Brevet de Randonneur event in each of any 12 consecutive months), then click for full details of how to claim.

| Make Peak Audax your club
If you are a member of Audax UK then nominate Peak Audax as your club simply by visiting the AUK Members' Gateway or just get in touch with Mike.
At the recent Audax AGM, Peak Audax came away with the 'Organising Club' award, as a calculated by the total number of points gained by all riders on our events. So thanks to everyone for supporting our rides!

 Peak Audax brings you a series of cycling events held under Audax UK regulations, based in the Peak district, the Cheshire Plains and the Lancashire Pennines, as part of the activities of Manchester & District CTC. All cyclist are welcome to take part, regardless of other club or CTC affiliations.Audax is an increasingly popular form of cycling over a range of distances - from 50km (about 32 miles) to 600km (something like 400 miles). If you're not a member of CTC, AUK or BC, you will need to obtain temporary membership of AUK - just add an extra £2.00 on top of the event fee and we'll ensure that you have the necessary 3rd party insurance for the duration of the event.

but it's 'plus c'est la meme chose!'At the Manchester AGM held on 17th November 2007, the traditional name of Manchester DA was retired to be replaced by its new name of Manchester & District CTC. The change of name is intended to reflect the fact that the geographical spread of the group extends to more than just Manchester itself, and also that we're a part of CTC, the UK's national cyclist's organisation.
Peak Audax was originally set up as a Section of Manchester DA, to arrange a series of rides within the Northwest according to Audax UK regulations under the CTC's insurance cover.
However, as part of the CTC's review of how its Sections and DAs (now known as Groups) operate in light of legislation covering Charitable bodies, child protection issues, accountability, insurance etc we've made the Peak Audax Event Secretary a committee position of Manchester & District CTC, to be elected at the AGM.
But don't worry! Everything else remains exactly as before: we still run our series of events, listed in Northern Wheel, Arrivée, AUK r, Cycle and here on www.PeakAudax.co.uk as well as www.audax.uk.net |
