It seems to have been a quiet year for AUKs abroad. Since the last AGM I’ve fielded a steady stream of queries about foreign events, about two-thirds of them from non-members and almost all relating to cyclosportif events. I’ve tried to help members and non-members alike. Whether they want it or not, the non-members, of course, receive gentle encouragement to join AUK along with the information they were seeking.
At the time of writing (November) information has begun to emerge about 2006 events. As before, I will post mostly information about cyclosportif events on the International Events Bureau section of the AUK website. By the time you read these lines, the events listing should be reasonably extensive.
Do please contact me if you’re planning a trip abroad with your bike. I have far more information about events abroad than I can possibly make available via the website, so don’t assume that no suitable ride exists if none is shown. If at all possible, send me your query well in advance of your trip rather than just a couple of days before! If you’ve ridden an event abroad please let me know your impressions or do a writeup for Arrivée.
