Subject: [CR]"There will be a small cycle jumble, too" My lack of understanding of some European cycling terms

Toni,

Excuse my sometimes lamentable ignorance of my own English language, but what is a Cycle Jumble? Might it be like a swap meet? Perhaps you can clarify what an Audax is, too, as I only have a vague understanding of that term also.I think it is like a ride for bikes with light touring accessories? If so, how would an Audax differ from a Randonneuring bike?

And as long as I am displaying my ignorance, is the Parc Ferme a bike show?

Thanks,

Tom Sanders , feeling like The Ugly American,
