Oh yeah - it seemed to ignore my date inputs. That's not good. Sorry.

@User21629 They are taking entries on the day.
Go along, I've done the ride a few times and its a lovely route.

 

[ianrauk]

There are various distances, 50km, 100km, 150km, 200km and 300km
If you do decide to go, try take correct money for entry fee as they don't usually have a lot of change. The 100km is £7.00

[QUOTE 4844991, member: 21629"]Their routesheets are absolute crap. I didn't know that audax is actually orienteering. Unless you've got a GPS.[/QUOTE]


That's exactly what it is. Though I wouldn't say crap. They are very carefully worked out.

The notation can get some getting used to (or not).

You dont need to use Garmin Connect. Download the file to your computer then drag and drop it onto the New Files folder of your Garmin.

Whereabouts in Kent are you? I can't help with rides this weekend but if you're not far I maybe able to accompany you in the future, I sometimes need someone to get my butt in gear and get out!

Do give an audax a try @User21629, at least once. They are fun and friendly. You get food .

Well, the 4 people you see at the start/finish and one manned control in ~100km are friendly and you get whatever food the fast people have left. Still not sure about fun.

 

[ianrauk]

That's not my experience, or many other people's.

Agreed.
Talking a load of rubbish.
