It won't be an endurance ride any more, it'll be a 5* holiday!!!
My meaning being it was all excellent in 2013 or I thought so.
They are accepting twice as many entries this time - 1,500 - so the extra capacity at controls will be needed.
The experience for the individual will also improve, although my feedback as a volunteer last time was the same as yours - very few complaints from riders.
Extra riders means a bigger budget, about £450,000, so it's even easier to understand why the organisers need to get the entrance money in before they can spend it.
It's quite a feat to balance that cashflow.
The event nearly went badly wrong last time when the organisers were knocked by the towel supplier.
There simply wasn't enough money in the kitty to pay twice - the day was saved by a loan from Audax UK.
my six year old's cancer relapsed a week after getting back from the Wild Atlantic Way Audax in June this year and life was pretty tough in the early stages
plus not much time on the bike obviously , He had a stem cell transplant two days before Christmas and everything is going very well but I know how quickly these things can go nipples up and I could end up not being able to get enough miles in the legs . I will have to have a discussion with my wife and then make a decision fortunately as an Audax UK member for the last three years I have till the 19th of January to make up my mind and their is always the possibility of volunteering if I decide not to ride .
