Title: Mersey 24 hr as per-qualifying 600 ?
Post by: duracellbunnyonabike on 05 January, 2019, 11:02:09 am

Can anyone clarify if the Mersey 24 hour counts as a pre-qualifying 600k ?

It is listed as my 600k for my Super Randonneurs series in 2018 but obviously it is not your typical 600k Audax ride.

Knowing the answer to his question will help with determining when I can enter PBP pre-registration (ie opening date for 400k or 600k as longest pre-qualifier).

No.  Prequalifying events need to have been BRM.  The 24 counts only for AUK points.

It was a qualifier back in the 1970s.
