[Full
details including entry] About Permanent Audaxes Permanent
audaxes require a greater degree of self-sufficiency than calendar events and
are intended as events for the more experienced rider, riding alone or with family
and friends. They offer greater flexibility than calendar events as they can be
ridden on any day of your choice once you have received Brevet and route cards.
Permanents are becoming increasingly popular with riders that prefer to choose
their own day of riding or wish to slot another ride in between calendar events.
You can also choose your day to ride at short-notice and make best use of fair
weather. If you wish to ride a permanent audax you should enter at least
4 weeks in advance (this may be reduced at the organiser's discretion) and you
will be sent a brevet card and routesheet. Before you ride, you must notify the
organiser when you intend to ride the event for insurance purposes. An e-mail
or recorded phone message is sufficient. On the day, collect evidence for
your Brevet Card to ensure that it is validated. Evidence of passage can include
a car park ticket (for the start); till receipts from shops, cafes, pubs or garages
and bank ATM receipts.After you have ridden, sign you Brevet Card, attach the
evidence of passage and return it to the organiser within 48 hours. Make sure
that the receipts are securely attached to your card and identified by number,
with a corresponding number in the card control box. |
