Cycling (racing) Weekly

[Martinm]

When did the Comic stop listing Audax and other "fun" events
in its what's on section? it's all races now. Just when I
thought non-competitive cycling was getting a foothold
(admittedly they have a feature on L2B this week)

They list only Audaxes and club runs on the website. They
were listing them on paper last time I looked (about a month
ago). Maybe they're not being submitted?

I wondered that but as I've only recently become a regular
reader I assumed that it was a summer thing and that when
there are less races on they would go back to listing the
non-competitive stuff.

Well actually there are loads of rides on the website, and
there were loads of non races listed last summer, but the
website also has adverts, so I will just read that instead
and not buy the magazine apart from during the Tour ;-)

I made the same assumption. There's just too much
competitive stuff on over the summer for them to include
everything else as well.

As for Audaxes, there are better sources of information than
Cycling Weekly at any time of year. And I presume the same
goes for CTC events.

Yes (unlike rttc who make you buy a handbook).
