Updating Tony's post:
Chairman Audax UK's statement (17 June) is here:
https://www.audax.uk/news/covid-19-update-17-june-2020/An extract relevant to DIYs is:
"following an AUK Board meeting earlier this week, we plan to recommence validating Permanent and DIY AUK rides of up to 200km from August 1st.
"It may be that a particular region or part of the UK is still (or becomes) subject to local restrictions that would prevent either re-commencement on the 1st of August or the continuation of events at some later point. In that instance, our intention would be to, in effect, "quarantine" that region, while still allowing events elsewhere. Permanents ridden on foreign soil (PROFs) should only take place where they are explicitly permitted in the areas in which they take place.
"[Permanents/DIYs] will be open for entry on the audax.uk web site and/or by post from August 1st"
I think people are assuming that the plan announced 18 days ago will turn into a formal decision and action announced on or before 1 August. There is a Board meeting later this week aiui where confirmation of this plan (including how riders can enter a DIY at least the day before, before starting a ride at 0800 (say) on 1 August), the resumption of calendar events and extending the distance limit beyond 200km for Permanents/DIYs will no doubt all be on the agenda.
