The Dug's Heid 120 is organised under the regulations of Audax UK, the UK's internationally recognised long distance cycling association. Audax rides are non-competitive, and the emphasis is on self-sufficiency and enjoyment. If you are looking to try this form of cycling or thinking about what it might be like to ride 200km (125 miles) or more, this event is a good starting point.
The ride is recoded on a Brevet Card, which is used to prove that riders have completed the route, and list the places where riders should get a sticker, a receipt or answer a question to prove they were in the location.
There is a small surcharge for insurance for non-Audax UK members.
Please sign up in advance via the Audax website. Entries close on 10 October, or once the ride is fully subscribed. www.audax.uk/event-details/12752-the_dugs_heid_120M
Please note that Audax riders are expected to be self-sufficient, and the organiser provides no rescue service. You are expected to navigate yourself, using either the routesheet or a GPS track. If you are new to Audax, please read more on the website: www.audax.uk/about-audax/new-to-audax
Although it is 'suitable for children', it should be noted that it is for parents/guardians to determine whether their child has the skills, equipment and fitness to participate in a 120km cycle ride in Scotland at this time of year.
Please see the Audax website and the parental consent form for details: www.audax.uk/media/2623/under-18-consent-form.pdf
