Also probably over-representative if the number of women I see on audaxes is anything to go by.

Which, to be fair, is a darn sight more than the mainstream cycling press. Also probably over-representative if the number of women I see on audaxes is anything to go by.

If Arrivee covers over-represent anything, it's climbing. That's inevitable given the difficulty of taking a decent portrait shot of riding on the flat. It's also the reason why recumbents don't make the cover.
Kim, you are very bad!
It's a magazine of stuff that might be interesting to AUK members. Doesn't even have to be about cycling.I don't know why you're wishing for it to be duller.

What the chances of a having a regular Q&A section in Arrivee? Qs in from members, answers from a panel of experienced audaxers...And, would be nice to have a route map graphic inset for the ride articles...

Mr A posts a question to the editor in October, so that he can have an answer in December, all being well. By then, he has probably browsed the web extensively and found the info he was looking forI also suspect a lot of answers based on personal experience are just that... personal experience... is it transferrable? Sometimes, other times not

But why have a printed article in the first place??
I hope some of the ideas on this tread make it into print...
I complained loudly about a succession of 'aspirational' cover shots featuring fit young women - the editorial response is a photo of a grumpy-looking bear

This is the first time I've not had an Awoowoo in about 10 years. I guess I should do something with my lapsed membership.
