200 kms - Sunday 11 August
BCC is delighted to present The Belleville Rendezvous
An Audax ride - known internationally as a Randonnée - is a cycle ride that has to be completed within a set time limit, including any stops to eat or rest. In most cases, riders have to maintain a minimum speed of 15km/h and importantly a maximum speed of 30km/h. That's a little under 10mph and 20mph in Imperial measures.
It's not a race and individual riders' times are not published; if you finish within the time limit, you've succeeded. *Note an Audax measures total time unlike our BCC rides which measure your moving time average.
