There should be no reason (other than bandwidth) that the magazine isn't available on-line. If it is printable then it is pdf-able.

I know of several publications that do this.
It is simpler than it looks.

I'd still rather read it on a Saturday morning with a mug of tea & a bacon butty   ;)

Yup. Hard copy for reading on the bog, in bed, on the train etc. On line a month or two later for reference purposes.

FYI the magazine is actually sent to print as a pdf, has been for about 4 years now.

No real reason not to go down the route MSeries suggests.

I wholeheatedly agree with Mr Series.

There has been many a time that I have been left wanting in the paperwork department and the (thoughtfully) pre-perforated letters page is often used as a two-ply substitute. In fact, Mrs H lovingly refers to it as 'Arrivex'.

It would help greatly if the paper were more absorbent as I tend to waste a lot of page 17 cleaning up the mess page 16 has made which is a terrible shame - unless if I can wash the worst off and glue them back in their rightful place. To this end, I forwarded my motion to be aired in from of the committee at the AGM but I am yet to find out if it was seconded.

Very yACF-packed edition for summer 2010 :)

They've done well to get Tim Wainwrights pics of the Mille Cymru in.

The inside-rear-cover full-page photo is a bit gratuitous though

Nice Bryan Chapman photos too

Good to see AUK sticking to their policy of not printing finishing times for rides.


I think that's essential to the character of Audax riding. On the road you can be as competitive or uncompetitive as you like, but everyone who gets round in the time limit gets the same credit.

Isn't Tim the editor for this issue?

I've not seen a copy yet.  Maybe it will be at home when I get there. Any Scottish pics (not that I don't have a vested interest)?

Mine usually turns up a coupla days after people start shouting about it on here.  Dammit, I feel like a kid before Christmas.  Are there any pics from the Three Bridges?

Those were the days ...

We've got our neighbour's copy of "Power Reel"  (and a very dull letter). Think I'll read that first ...

Oh what an afternoon. A new pair of wheels sitting in my office, and a copy of Arrivee at home to peruse (hopefully).

Must try to get some work done.

From which Audax? (I was hoping they'd put the photo of Ariadne and Crystal Tips on the cover..)

But the cover photo has been credited to John Martin. Whoops.

David, the cover piccy is of Martin Foley on the Snow Roads.

...and an excellent article by me on page 48.

No-one's found the need to comment on it but it's my first article in Arrivée so I'm pleased anyway.

Just haven't got there yet :)

First job is a quick flip through to look at the pics, then I read it in detail over breakfast, over a few days

That article caught my eye though.  Good job it was three times, I felt ;)

I have the same m.o. as M.V.
I reckon that great minds think alike ;D

This magazine  alone is worth the sub. fee .It's unique in that I can relate to people & places I know/have been to when seen in print.

Pleased for you David ref your pics :thumbsup:
