Which Audax Ride Should You Try Next? Take Our Quiz!
Are you staring at the Audax calendar in different parts of the world, paralyzed by choice? Do terms like “brevet,” “flèche,” and “Super Randonneur” make you excited and slightly terrified? Fear not, fellow randonneur-in-the-making—we’ve got the perfect solution!
Introducing the Audax Ride Quiz, an interactive way to figure out which long-distance cycling challenge you should tackle next. Whether you’re a newbie eyeing your first 200km or a hardened endurance cyclist dreaming of Paris-Brest-Paris, this quiz will point you in the right direction.
How It Works
The quiz asks six simple questions about your riding experience, preferences, and goals. Based on your answers, it’ll recommend an Audax ride that matches your current skill level and ambitions. No complicated algorithms, no judgment—just a friendly nudge toward your next cycling adventure.
Sample Questions You’ll Encounter:
- “What’s your longest completed ride so far?”
- If your answer is “100km… but I needed a nap after,” we’ve got options for you.
- “How do you feel about night riding?”
- “I avoid it” = sensible human. “The longer the night, the better!” = certified randonneuring vampire.
- “What’s your climbing comfort level?”
- “I prefer flat routes” = understandable. “Mountain passes excite me” = please teach us your ways.
At the end, you’ll get a personalised recommendation—maybe it’s a gentle 200km brevet, a brutal 600km Super Randonneur qualifier, or even an ultra-distance challenge like London-Edinburgh-London.
