Looking at this weekend, Tour of the Hills has 2300m of climbing. If I ECE it up to a 200km, and the ECE part has an additional 1100m of climbing, would the 2.25AAA be upgraded to 3.5 if I mandatory route the ECE part?

You will be awarded the total AAA for the whole ECE minus the AAA awarded for the TotH; which will keep its 2.25AAA.

So it will be 2.25 + 1?
Or will it be 2.25 + 0, as the ECE alone doesn't qualify?

It will be 2.25 plus whatever extra AAA your device measures for the total ride minus 2.25

Following on from the Cambridge Pork Pie thread there's a bit of a record being set by Audax Club Mid Essex ATM;

if there's enough interest I'm happy to set up a prize for the club with the most ECE's; in true AUK tradition it will be based on most km extended in a year

I've had a few emails from riders trying to enter ECEs on the new website and hitting a problem. This is compounded by there being no link to email me in these circumstances.

If all else fails you can enter the ECE the old school way by searching Malins in the text search here, it will show all the ECEs

https://audax.uk/choose-a-ride/permanent-events/

note you will still have to email me with the calendar event and ECE route details separately

Thanks

If you do have a problem entering via the new event entry screen linked to the calendar event, please do go ahead and enter as Martin has explained if it is urgent, but if you could also drop a quick mail to webcontent@audax.uk saying which calendar event you are trying to extend, and what (if any) errors you see. It would be useful to understand and hopefully correct any issues.

Thanks bhoot; in the most recent cases it was due to the calendar event not having all the entrants on the online start list.
I think the suggestion of a warning that a rider has not entered (or is not on the start list) rather than a hard block is a good one. There may be occasions where a rider wishes to ECE an event but enter on the day.

Apologies everyone, we have moved to a new server (more economical and newer version operating system!) and missed a minor configuration which the developer is aware of. It is still possible to enter and pay for an ECE as long as you don't upload a file - this is the thing that isn't working. I am sure Martin will be ok with getting your planned route emailed directly. Hopefully normal service resumed soon.

Please note that following the rule change to sub 200km rides extra ECE points may now be added in 0.5 increments. This is to allow 50km and 150km calendar events (which now attract distance points) to be extended and awarded the correct total points.

the following FAQ has not changed though;

2. What total distances can be combined as an ECE?

An ECE can only be used to convert an AUK event to one which then meets the standard randonnee distances of 200 300 400 and 600 km; as well as distances of 500 700 and distances up to 1000km.


therefore sub 200km calendar events may only be uprated to at least 200km using an ECE. I will return / refund any entries that do not meet this criterium.

To clarify,  can I extend a 100km calendar event by 50km to make a 150km?
Meaning that I'd get 1 point for the calendar and 0.5 for the ECE?

Thanks

Well, yeah, in for a penny, in for 4 quid.

Probably see you on Saturday for a long distance bike ride then.

Not currently* under my watch;

The purpose of ECEs has not changed since 1.11.23 in that ECEs can only be used to extend a sub 200k ride to a 200k or plus ECE or add least 100km to a BR. There is a new ECE Randonnee + 150 but 200k and + events can only be extended by a minimum of 100km

*currently  :)
