What is a Permanent? Brevet Permanents events (Permanents) were introduced by Audax Australia in 2008/9.Since then the number of permanents both ridden and offered have increased enormously. They suit members who forany reason are unable to ride the calendar events, are visiting another area, need the discipline of riding a brevet etc. Permanents are intended for experienced randonneurs and only Audax Australia members can enter. These brevets are not internationally recognised and are not qualifiers for international rides (e.g. Paris-Brest-Paris) or international awards (e.g. Audax Club Parisien's Randonneur 5000 award). Most of Audax Australia's Ride Rules apply to Permanents with some exceptions; these can be found in the Permanents Rules. A lighting/reflective garment check by the organiser is not required but the other aspects of the lighting/reflective garment regulations apply. Routes If you have a suggestion for a Permanent route, please contact the rides co-ordinator and/or regional president in your region. Average Speeds As an example, a 225 km calendar brevet (ACP homologated) must be completed within 13 hr 30 min despite the extra 25 km; The minimum average speed for a dirt Permanent is calculated the same as a Brevet Dirt ride. How do I enter? Each Permanent route has an organiser. If you want to enter a Permanent you will need to:•contact the organiser at least a week in advance nominating the route and date you intend to ride the Permanent; and •forward a completed entry form with payment to the organiser. The ride organiser on receipt of your entry form and payment will mail to you the brevet card, route maps and cue sheets for the permanent. The day of the ride On the day you have chosen to ride the Permanent and as no organiser will be present at the start, Read the Permanents Rules Permanent routes available in your region are listed below: |
