AUDAX UK
Information: Please read this before starting your ride

This is an Event for experienced cyclists who will be aware of the following procedures:

  • Whenever possible, familiarisation with the route before the event. Ensuring competence and fitness to complete the course, roadworthiness of the machine and possession of adequate cycle-repair equipment, spares and skills
  • During the event, riding safely, according to the rules of the road and personal capabilities and taking responsibility for personal feeding, warm clothing and rest periods, especially at night
  • Personally deciding not to continue if feeling unwell or too tired
  • As with any journey on public roads being aware of and allowing for highway design and maintenance, other users (especially horses), busy traffic conditions, the state of disrepair of the surface (potholes, trenches, ironwork etc.), debris and obstructions of all kinds, poor or non-existent lighting on night sections and oncoming headlights
  • As some roads could be high and exposed, with hills that could be steep and strenuous, carrying adequate food, drink, clothing and equipment for any conditions; preparing the machine (and rider) and carrying spares and tools – and knowing how to use them
  • In the event of bad weather, making a personal decision over starting or continuing; also being equipped to deal with bad conditions
  • Making private arrangements if back-up or rescue facilities are wanted, although if this is the case undertaking this ride at all should be reconsidered
  • Being adequately rested before travelling home after finishing

As with all Audax UK rides you are on a private excursion on the public highway and subject to the law of the land, so ensure that you are fully self-sufficient and capable of handling all conditions as found on the day.

You are, for the duration of the event, on a private excursion on the public highway and responsible for your own conduct at all times.

You should abide by Audax UK Regulations for this ride and be insured via your relevant Membership of CTC/BC/AUK, or apply for Temporary AUK Membership and pay the Fee of £2.00; (for all other requirements additional, adequate personal travel insurance will be necessary).
