Strange, it seems to have video footage of the BCM600 on it :)

Youtube have extended the infomation available for viewings so I can find out how popular my PBP films are in Puerto Rico, http://www.sanjuancyclingclub.com/
The result is I can trace back where hits have been coming from even if it is in Brazil.

Its interesting that the San Juan cycle club site has published finish times for a ACP 200k Brevet.

I thought they were not supposed to publish times? Or is that just an AUK thing?

The results of this 200k run by the Parana club would suggest that we are the odd ones out. http://www.audaxparana.com.br/Resultados-2008-200%20km-2.html But we don't run races on the road do we?
Those Parana boys even give checkpoint times!

Please note that finishing times may not be published (AUK Regulation 2.11),
so have been removed from all these listings (except PBP).

One insight is that the US hits tend to be from newsgroups, the better laid out sites are in countries that have come to the web later, like this Russian site, which seems to be all encompassing. This page shows that Audax is the same the world over. http://veloroad.spb.ru/modules.php?name=Pages&pa=showpage&pid=15
Another interesting facet is the high participation rates in Brazil http://www.audaxbrasilia.com.br/informacoes/resultado200_2008.htm
The main Brazilian cycling magazine seems to have featured PBP heavily.
The Brazilian route cards also seem to be comprehensive, showing minimum and maximum times at all turns. http://www.audaxbrasilia.com.br/informacoes/300/quadrohorario300.htm
Anyone wishing to download the Audax Brasilia Theme Tune can do so at the bottom of this page.
http://www.audaxbrasilia.com.br/informacoes/tema.htm
Perhaps we could have a yACF theme sequence, I'm thinking Starsky and Hutch.

Veloroad is a more generally roadcycling site. AFAIK mainly from the St. Petersburg area. The audax club there is Baltic star, www.balticstar.spb.ru but their forum attracts quite a lot of riders outside of the Pitr area.

The Belgian Wielertoerist site seems to have quite a nice calendar.

Audax Danemark (http://www.audax-club.dk/) lots of PBP pictures in the gallery.

British Columbia Randonneurs cycling club (http://www.randonneurs.bc.ca/links/links.html)'s link page will bring all over the earth.

Hmm, that Polish site states that the CTC is an organisation for cyclists in the Bristol region.

The Bryan Chapman is organised under the banner of the Bristol section of the CTC, does that alter the reading? Or have they got the wrong end of the stick and assumed that the CTC is restricted to Bristol?
