The Union des Audax Francais: An Abridged History
by Ken Dobb, based on the book by Bernard Deon

Toronto randonneur and cycling historian Ken Dobb has written a synopsis of Bernard Deon's "Un Siecle De Brevets d'Audax Cyclistes", a book about the origins and developement of the audax movement. Deon's extensive French-language publication was self published in 2006. Ken showed me his abridged English-language take on Deon in 2007, and we both thought it might find a good home in the history section of the BC Randonneurs web site. An early version of Ken's text has been on this site since 2009. Recently I had a chance to add the photos Ken has been sending, and finish the formatting. EF

The completed work now lives in our history section. Here is a direct link to the article:
