Calendar Guidelines
The following are recommendations to assist Calendar Co-ordinators, in conjunction with Ride Organisers, in developing the Audax Calendar. It is acknowledged that ride organising is voluntary hence these are a preference if possible.
Premier Rides (PBP, GSR, SM1200 and PAP) should rotate once per year, on a 4-year cycle. Only ‘small’ rides should be on at the same time as a premier ride
Run ‘The Oppy’ on one weekend each year in all regions. Typically 3rd week in March, but avoid Easter.
A Gran Turismo series should be held in a region preferably once each year, or at least every 2 years The GT series may be hosted by differing regions each time it is held
1000/1200 km rides should be well separated from Premier Rides and other 1000/1200 rides.
Larger regions (Qld, NSW & Vic) should consider a minimum of one 1000/1200 ride per annum.
Smaller regions (ACT, Tas, SA & WA) should consider a minimum of one 1000/1200 ride every two years.
Each Region should put on a Super Randonneur series (200, 300, 400 and 600 BRMs) each year.
Larger regions (Qld, NSW & Vic) should consider two Super Randonneur series per annum.
Each Region should put on a Nouveau Gravel series (50, 100 and 150 BGs) each year.
Each Region should put on a Nouveau series (50, 100 and 150 BAs) each year.
Each Region should put on some 50 – 100 km social rides each year. These rides are where the end of the ride is just as important as the ride (finish at a restaurant, hold a BBQ, or other)
Each Region should have social events each year (Social Evening, ROs Dinner and Christmas BBQ are some examples)
