Audax Cycling is a long-distance cycling sport that emphasizes endurance and self-sufficiency. Participants ride predetermined routes, typically ranging from 200 to 1,200 kilometers, within specific time limits. The focus is on completing the distance rather than racing, promoting a spirit of camaraderie among cyclists. Riders must navigate their own way, often using maps or GPS, and stop at designated checkpoints to prove their progress. Audax events are organized worldwide, with a strong community that values both the challenge of long rides and the enjoyment of cycling together.
