Not charity events no, cost a few pounds to take partThanks ... thats a good list ... i will go thru and check them. Are they charity events . You joining some of them ?
Thanks , i dont mind paying to attend...but fund raising to attend for event after event is difficult.Not charity events no, cost a few pounds to take part
There's a London one this month, may have been and gone though
The next London start is a 200km challenge!

Sportives are another option but rather more commercial generally. Audax are longer distances, shortest are 100km I think. You get less support on routing, no arrows pinned to lamppostsThanks , i dont mind paying to attend...but fund raising to attend for event after event is difficult.
Thats a relief !
Dragon ride? https://www.dragonride.co.uk/I'm in the same place, need a new challenge. Thinking about tackling the off road route from the Peaks to either Cape Wrath or JOG but that's probably a longer term aim, need a new short term day or two challenge to aim at.
That's an idea, would probably use the route and do it at a different time, I'm not that keen on big organised rides.Dragon ride?
There are some 50 and 60km audax events but I feel they're good rides ruined by paperwork. Each to their own, though! They're less annoying than sportives.Sportives are another option but rather more commercial generally. Audax are longer distances, shortest are 100km I think.

You could just join a club and go out on their weekend group rides

I try and do one or two of these Audax rides a month and as stated upthread, they aren't for charity. Selfishly they are for ME.
In the South West where I live, it can on the surface appear very, pale, male and stale if you get my drift. The Audax events, particularly from Bristol, are pretty diverse and we get above average numbers of female riders and people of colour taking part. It’s very refreshing and progressive.
