This is meant as a supportive comment ... have you thought about organising your own event? It really isn't as hard as other organisers pretend (with the exception of my amazing events of course). AUK has a system for bringing new organisers on board and after you're learnt to read the book of runes it's actually rather simple.
Best of all you get to do it your way!
Plus if you put your hand up there are a ton of people around willing to give advice or help you plan a route.
If you're new to this Audax malarky, get in touch with an organiser and ask if you can help out on their events and, who knows, they might be persuaded to run one starting from your town?
