I did an Audax ride once (that was enuf). They had some clown rule that if you exceeded (I think) 29.5km for 200km then you didn't get your cert. So we ambled from pub to pub in the Hunter Valley at a liesurely 28kmh. God it felt slow, but the beer was good. Thank god that don't to drug tests on Audax or we all wouldve failed.
