Anyone know why this year's fun-filled-festival of cake has been cancelled?

here is the official response  :)

Just to clarify things for next year. Barry Jaeger was a surprisingly suspicious man and would never walk beneath a ladder or eat 13 cakes. He was particularly suspicious of any year that fell as a new decade and a leap year and spent much of the year 2000 locked in his panic room with nothing but a turbo trainer and a tomato plant. To mark this unusual and perhaps ill-founded trait we won't be running the Ball Buster, Bash or Blast next year. However as a slight concession to the great man's peculiarity the 300km Jaeger Bomb will take place on 12th September with entries opening on 1st January at www.audax.lvis.org.uk.

You'll also find plenty of local events being organised by our friends at Audax Club Bristol: https://www.facebook.com/pg/AudaxBristol/events/?ref=page_internal

And or course loads more at www.aukweb.net

Go Vegas!
