I took my daughter on a 50k audax on my tandem a couple of years ago. She asked at school if she could present this at “achievements” at assembly, but was told “no, because it wasn’t for anything”.
I was unsure if this was a philosophical statement about audax in general, or if her teacher was a hardened audaxer who felt anything less than an SR wasn’t worth mentioning.
As in so many situations, I knew the only way of resolving the issue was to order a badge.
Armed with a lovely pink 50k badge, Amy was allowed to present her audax at achievements in assembly and has even asked if we can do another one
