If you prefer a plain format which is simply an on-screen copy of the Handbook printed pages, you can get that by checking the '3 line' option above. Alternatively, checking the '1 line' option will give a more compact list.
To view a list running further ahead than the default 4 months, you will be asked to log in as an AUK member. Non-members can however view these lists one month at a time by using the month links in the sidebar, which actually each show a 50-day window centred on the month chosen. Usually, the lists do not run past the end of the current calendar year. The following year begins to appear sometime in October.
This interactive Calendar should be very up-to-date - any revisions are uploaded usually within one day of AUK being notified. Should this online database become unavailable for any reason, you will still find links to Calendar information but it is likely to be much less current.
To speed things up, and also show only those events which might interest you, use the menus at the top of the screen to select smaller lists. (Or larger ...)
NB: - After altering any menu setting or combination of settings, you need to click on 'Show' to display the revised list of events.
If you don't alter the 'from' and 'to' date windows, your new list will just show your selection for the next 4 months.
You can also use the Find facility just type a single word, or partword, for example typing peak would find any event with 'Peak' in the title - or organised by a club with 'Peak' in their name - you can also try a Start Place, an Organiser Surname, or an Event Number if you know it. Entering the Event Number of an event you rode earlier in the season would lead you to the Results Sheet for that event.
'Updates' will show all events that have been significantly altered, relative to their entry in the AUK Handbook. That includes new events, altered dates, change of organiser details, etc. The red code in the 1st column gives some indication of what the alteration might be. The key to these red codes is in the blue sidebar to the left.
N is a new event, ie one not listed in the hardcopy Handbook/Calendar.
U is an updated event, this can be anything such as a change of entry fee, or a new address for the organiser, relative to what is in the hardcopy. Usually the detail page will include a red note to indicate exactly what has been updated.
D is an updated event, specifically a change of date.
A is an event which is unchanged but on paper the AAA (hilliness) rating has been re-calculated and adjusted, relative to what is in the hardcopy.
C is a cancelled event.
'Distance' allows you to choose just short events, or just long ones.
'Region' gives you several choices - they overlap quite a lot, so that 'borderline' locations will not be missed - instead they will be found under 2 or more regions. A 'Region' filter will always cast its net quite wide.
'Category' is mainly useful for listing AAA events only (that is, very hilly events), but it could be used in PBP year to show RM only - these would be the PBP qualifying events.
'Day' allows you to view only Saturdays, Sundays or weekdays.
You can combine these menus - eg, set Distance to 'below 200', Region to 'Wales +W', Category to 'AAA' to find short hilly events in or near Wales.
Such a list would be very short, and here is where you might want to extend the 'date window' - if you are an AUK member - by choosing say '+6 Months' in the right-hand list. You can view the whole year, past present and future, by setting the 'from' window as early as possible and the 'to' window as late as possible.
Some people with small computer monitors may have slight difficulties with the menu bar - it may get a bit untidy, but should still work OK. And the month links in the blue sidebar still work.
