Hello, sorry if this is answered elsewhere - haven't managed to find an answer through the medium of Google.
Are Extended Permanent Events a thing? I vaguely recall something like EPE being put as a motion to the AUK board. But I can't remember any more than that, and there's no info on the extensive audax.uk FAQs.
Asking because, assuming I successfully manage the 600km Gospel Pass in July, I need a Herts 200km for my Herts SR.
Yes they are. Bit of a minority interest as it's usually easier and cheaper to do the whole thing as a DIY. I did a couple during lockdown as 2 of the Essex Winter Series calendar events were cancelled but made available as perms and I wanted the badge!
Although there's currently no way to enter one as all ECEs work from the "ECE this event" button.
Other than sending me the route, perm details and £4 PayPal. This obv doesn't require the rider to accept the usual AUK disclaimers although having already done that for the perm all the ECE does is increase the distance of the same ride.
I'm very pleased you're still managing this, GdS.
For one thing,,it helps keep Perms alive. DIYs are a brilliant thing, but Perms are also special.
You get to follow someone's elses lovingly crafted (and tested) route, and
In some cases, classic routes get to live on. (E.g. where the calendar event dies out due to One Thing and Another)
