Details of Audax events/entries are usually on the Calendar on their website but you need to be an AUK Member to view more than 4 months ahead.

There are quite a few Audax events in Scotland, varying in distance from 100k

. Very few Audax Ecosse events are flat, as we tend to have hills in Scotia

For other sportives, I could recommend:

Ken Laidlaw Scottish Borders Sportive

Etape Caledonia


If you have not done it before, the Pedal for Scotland Glasgow - Edinburgh run is worth doing. However, if you have either done it before or want a better ride (or both) I'd recommend the LEPRA Edinburgh- St Andrews, which is a good step up from the PfS which, IMHO is getting a bit dangerous.

See you on one of these events sometime !

scoosh is right that you have to be an AUK member to see events more than 4 months ahead (don't ask me why). But the Potter for Tea and the Snow Roads are on 14 May this year, so you'll only have to wait a couple of weeks to see. Meanwhile, if you follow the link that scoosh posted, you'll see that there are quite a few other audaxes in Scotland over the next four months.
BTW, you don't have to join AUK to ride audaxes, but there's a £2 charge for insurance if you're not covered by insurance from AUK (or CTC or BC I think).

No mention of the 22nd Tour of East Lothian on the Sunday 13th February 2011.

Quick jaunt over Redstone Rig, poodle over some lumpy bits and a swift run in. If you fancy an early season challenge that is well organised, very well supported by all kinds of riders (club, Audax and CTC)and a bit of a laugh give it a whirl.

Aye even thinking about it gets me in a sweat :ohmy: but i doubt i'd make it anyway, trying to get time of from work/family and travel involved etc, there that's my excuse in :whistle:

I'm on-call that weekend but I'll be doing my best to get a swap done, as I would hate to have that as my only excuse for not doing it.

This 'eejit' planning to take a punt on the Snow Roads, but being someone that can only manage a 'stately' speed and being the world's worst climber, I'm training for a very, very long day in the saddle. :biggrin:

At least you're training! I've been on the bike twice since the start of December and I fell off on one of those!
