Great Video. I did many Audax rides in the 1990's. Did a couple of super randoneurs and PBP in 1995. Then Kids and stuff got in the way. Started to get back into it this year, after years of serious running. Your videos are great to keep the motivation up, Looking forward to seeing more long distance rides.

I rode two audax in my county, Indonesia, this year. The first was 200 km event. Due to COVID pandemic, I decided to ride alone for the whole course. I’ve done some 200 km ride before (my farthest ride was 220 km), so this was not a problem for me. But the second event, 300 km, was another beast. The first 200 was okay, but then the rain started pouring down, hard. At some 230 km (30 km of riding nonstop in the rain), I realized that it was too mentally hard for me. Almost cried, to be honest. Luckily, I encountered another lone cyclist. She was actually riding with her husband, but his front wheel was damaged early in the event, and couldn’t continue. We decided to ride together to the finish line, and we finished strong. Riding with other people in this kind of event, can really boost your mental strength.

An Ebike is cheating. Why would you even want to do an Audax riding one? It defeats the whole purpose and spirit of the ride, that you are self sufficient and it is all your OWN effort. In any case the battery probably wouldn't last. I should imagine pedalling an Ebike with a dead battery wouldn't be much fun not that I've even tried as I would never ride an Ebike.

They will be suitably impressed with that and it saves 10minutes try to explain "you can from WHERE?!" and "you're going to WHERE?!" and "you're not doing that TODAY are you?!" then "and "Not on a PUSH BIKE?!" and "it's NOT a race/for charity?!" Ending in the trickiest question... "WHY?!" 🤣😂 If you get it, you get it. If you don't you don't!

I love the outtake... when you become an audaxer people say that to you a lot - "How far? What in a day!" Tips hmm... don't take it too seriously..."It's just riding a bike." I think my biggest tip would be, don't dive in and go far far beyond your capabilities. Build up slowly over time whether thats distance, climbing or both. Yes, come out of your comfortable zone, sure, but ease yourself in.

Very clear explanation. A couple of points: first, I'd recommend newcomers starting out on rides in familiar territory; second, traditionally audax organisers have required entrants to have mudguards on their bikes although I think this is largely ignored nowadays but best check the small print; third, riding a longer distance than usual is also a mental as well as a physical challenge. Although LEL and PBP require entrants to qualify, there's an annual event in Belgium which does not. The route is along Belgium's borders and no need to enter 200 km or 400km audaxes beforehand; the Belgians just want your money (it costs less than 100 euros to enter).

It's the one thing that can ruin your ride super quick over long distances. Get that right and as long as you're in decent shape, you should get around the course within the time allotted.

The self-support requirements mainly refer to banning external support crews and vehicles on the course or having them following you. Only at a controle can a personal assistant render aide like bring you food or clothes. While on the course you may accept assistance from other randonneurs in the event and you can go to bike shops or other businesses for what you need. In short, while part of the spirit of randonneuring is in being self-sufficient you don't have to do everything yourself. Check the audax rules for your organization.
