On June 12, 1897, twelve Italian cyclists were trying to raid the group Rome-Naples, 230 km, between sunrise and sunset. Nine succeeded, their attempt was described as bold, "Audax", Latin translation of daring qualifier. This name was taken to mean the bicyclist makes 200 km between sunrise and sunset. 

In 1904, Henri Desgrange, already the father of the Tour de France, attracted by this formula and wanting to revive the sport touring bike such matter walking group in France and created the "French Audax". On 3 April of that year held the first patent of 200 Km cycling. Soon these daring riders stretched distances and thus in 1905 was organized the first 300 km and a 400 km in 1908, a 600 km in 1922, a 1,000 km in 1929 and finally the first Paris-Brest- Paris Audax in 1931. 

• 1905 - first    300 km
• 1908 - first    400 km
• 1922 - first    600 km
• 1929 - first 1.000 km
• 1931 - first Paris -Brest-Paris

These cycling events, referred to as "patents" as a diploma is awarded to participants, have always had a success rate of participants very high, proving that the group behavior facilitates the achievement of long-distance patents. Since 1904 patent of 200 km are numbered, the last number issued in 2007 is 182,937. 

In 1951 was created the Golden Eagle, the highest award Audax cyclists. This award is given to those who have done, without time limitation, patents Audax 200, 300, 400, 600, 1,000 km Paris-Brest-Paris, and a second patent long distance (1,000 km or Paris-Brest -Paris). 
All of these patents and awards which originated at the time of the creation of the modern Olympics not addressed, because of the distances involved, as adult sportsmen.

 
The Union of French Audax has decided to create a series of patents to speed driving, and intended only for the young, evolving over distances of 20 to 200 km awarded the titles of Aiglon bronze (20, 30 and 40 km) of Aiglon money (50, 60 and 70 km) and Golden Eaglet (80, 140 and 200 km). The Golden Eaglet Award, which the owner can be proud of as Audax, not having realized that getting the whole series from 20 to 200 km. 

This increase is intended to bring surely and with minimal effort, under Audax and access control of the long distance. Indeed, it is no coincidence that two of three winners of the first european diagonals, I named Calais-Brindisi or Malle des Indes, are golden eagles and one in ten is a member of Union of French Audax.
