2024.06 Audax Cebu
06/27/2024 | Carmela Pearson
For those who signed up for the Audax Rides in Cebu on June 29-30, kindly go through the reminders below. The Audax rides in Cebu are brought to you by Motor Ace Philippines.
REMINDERS:
1) Please read through the below link to fully understand what an Audax ride is all about. This is a blog entry written by our very own, Redg Plopinio, multiple Les Randonneurs Mondiaux finisher (1200km and above). Please read through the many materials and information in the audax.ph website to familiarize yourself on the unconventional format of the Audax. The audax is an unmarshalled and unsupported ride.

2) Please ensure you have the proper bike lights for the ride as you will be riding in the dark.
3) Distance provided may not be exact. We tried to create the best route given the convenience of control point locations.
4) Please read the Guidelines for Support and Gear Vehicles for more information and penalties if caught. No direct-follow. No support between checkpoints. Please tell your support vehicle drivers to be mindful of this. If proven upon sufficient evidence shown, penalties in case one is found in violation of the above guidelines shall include, but not limited to the following:
1st warning: 2-hour penalty added to elapsed finish time
2nd warning: non-homologation of the said ride
3rd warning: 2-year ban from joining any brevets organized by Audax Randonneurs Philippines
5) Pre-Ride Check-In on Friday is at Helipad Area of Kandaya Beach Resort from 2-7pm on both June 28 and June 29.
6) Emergency Hotlines:
7) Route details have been provided the moment registration was opened. Allow around +/-5% allowance. There might be a few minor errors but with the cue sheet, the map and the gpx file to be provided, one should be able to navigate through the route without a problem. Navigation is an essential skill in randonneuring. And when in doubt, ask directions or go old school. *wink*. We are posting those information again below:

8) Danao Checkpoint (for those doing the 600km Audax and the 200km Sunday audax ride): Please use SKUT GARAGE as landmark as this is searchable via Googlemaps as well. The Motor Ace checkpoint will be very visible from the roads.
9) Please go through the AUDAX RIDE PROCEDURE. It contains basic information on what to do during the Audax weekend and will answer the following questions: What to bring in the Pre-Ride Check-In? What if I can't make the Pre-Ride Check-In? Why aren't medals included in the registration fee? What happens if I miss my wave release time? What if I miss my Pre-Ride Check-In and not submit my Pre-Ride Check-In requirements?
10) To save us time in the Pre-Ride Check-In, kindly read through the waiver form in advance so you just need to sign it on-site. If you can't make the Pre-Ride Check-In, please email (info@audax.ph) us a copy of your notarized waiver form and vaccination certificate/card.
11) Call to Action: NO LITTERING AT THE STOPS AND ON THE ROADS! Let's continue to be good stewards of this sport. :)
Just like the Audax rides pre-pandemic, we will still keep the rides low-key and will be run by people who are just doing this on top of their usual job/life. Nobody works full-time for the Audax. The people behind Audax PH just want to see the sport be sustainable and accessible to the Filipino randonneurs all over the country. We have new processes in place and we ask your patience and consideration as we slowly adapt to this "new normal". While we are trying to keep it simple and efficient for everyone, there will be mishaps. Rest assured, we just need to communicate properly and we will try our best to address these minor issues effectively as we move forward.
Audax is an un-marshalled and unsupported long-distance cycling event. The route has been provided well in advance for you to navigate through the route. Roads will not be closed to cyclists. Please expect some busy roads through towns - this is where one needs to practice responsible cycling. Our advocacies still remain true: long-distance cycling, Cyclotourism and responsible cycling. Thank you for those who have been seeing the bigger picture and have been very considerate from the very beginning. The Audax is very simple but if done with integrity, it can be one of the most fulfilling rides one gets to experience.
With that said, see you in the Audax!
