Our rides are open to all cyclists, and you do not have to be a member of Peak Audax in order to take part in the rides. Members of Audax UK and Cycling UK enter these events at the Members’ Rate. Non-members are also very welcome too but there is a supplement to the Entry Fee of £3.00 which gives you temporary membership of Audax UK for the duration of the event, which means that if you are a UK resident, you will have 3rd party insurance for the duration of the event.
There is a huge variety of rides available, from short 50km introductory rides to a full Super Randonneur series of 200km, 300, 400 and 600km. They can be relatively flat, or extremely lumpy, extending into the Peak District or over the Cheshire Plain, even reaching Wales in occasion.
At Peak Audax, we challenge you to earn three special badges for completing our rides:
* If you can complete the 5 Wednesday 100s from Marple in the same season you are entitled to claim inclusion in the Peak Audax Marple Grimpeur award .
* Anyone who has successfully completed a Peak Audax 200, 300, 400 and 600, all in the same season, is similarly included in the Peak Audax SR award .
* Once you have completed 12 Peak Audax rides (Calendar events or Perms), one in each of 12 consecutive calendar months commencing 1 January 2025, you qualify for inclusion in the PARTY award
