.... of audaxes ridden?

I was sifting through a pile of old brevets looking for a particular card when I suddenly realised - there's an awful lot of cards here $:-\$

So I counted them up - over 120. Does this put me in the 'Get a Life' bracket? AUK has awards for most things, but not this. To make things worse, probably more than two thirds will have been Permanents. My other anorak is a parka

So what's your number?

Fifteen.

I only count rides of 1000km or longer

One.

However that one puts my name in some Parisian audax book forever. No need to do any more.

Please don't make me go and count them all

I'm not sure that I could find them all, never mind count them.

I can't even remember how many events of 1000km or longer I've ridden, but there were about 10 in 2000 alone.

Not as many as them.

Only four of John S's counting events.
And another 205.

on that basis, only 6.

Counting all - I dunno. Few hundred, I guess.

9 of Mr Spooner's style, 200+ total, about half done in the UK.

I just checked my draw. I can find 11 cards. Although it may in reality be slightly more than that.

76

It's actually 79. I counted 76 by adding up the totals on the AUK results pages but forgot that they don't show the first one I did when i wasn't a member, the last one I did which isn't yet on the list and one I did where my entry got screwed up and never found it's way on to the finish list.

Chris N · « **Reply #18 on:** 28 November, 2008, 08:44:41 am »

21 listed on AUK, but maybe four or five more when I wasn't a member.

The question was quite simple - how many?

No need to make any other comment.....

What?

Like you just did?

Nine on the Spoonerist system. Otherwise there's a 5 inch pile of cards in a drawer.

I presume 100s don't count...

Why not ? are they considered not proper audaxes or something ?

duncan · « **Reply #23 on:** 28 November, 2008, 10:30:21 am »

13 completed ones and 2 of the fail.

(that's 10 over 200k, if the little ones don't count...)

There are various opinions on the subject.
