Audax Alpine Classic 2008
When: 27th Januaury 2008

The Audax Alpine Classic, organised by Audax Australia travels through some of Victoria's most spectacular countryside. It is usually held on the Australia Day Long weekend in January. The ride ranges from 70km to the daunting 200km, The ultimate one day adventure on 2 wheels:))))

A challenging ride

It is the toughest non-competitive mass ride in Australia and as such is not a race. The objective is to complete the course within the maximum time limit allowed:

70km: 4 hours 40 mins
(start 8.00AM)

72km: 4 hours 50 mins
(start 7.40AM)

130km: 8 hours 40 mins
(start 7.20AM
140km: 9 hours 20 mins
(start 7.00AM)

200km: 13 hours 30 mins
(start 6.20AM and 6.40AM)

200km riders who realistically believe they can complete the event in less than 11 hours are requested to choose the earlier starting time of 6.20am. Please tick that box on your entry form.

At the start, you will be given a map and a route card (brevet) which must be carried by you throughout the event. Your progress will be monitored to ensure you are okay. As you pass through checkpoints your arrival and time will be recorded. At the finish, your brevet must be handed back to the ride organisers for validation.

Support from people in vehicles outside the event is forbidden. There is however, a sag wagon for stragglers and a St Johns Ambulance for emergencies.
