What are Permanents?
A Permanent is like a brevet but you can ride it any time, not just on one specific date. Like brevets, routes can start and finish in the same location, but they can also run point-to-point, and can be any distance of 200km+ (100-199km for a Permanent Populaire). Permanents are open to any RUSA member. They can be ridden alone or with a group. Permanent rides in the US are validated by RUSA and do not count toward any ACP awards or PBP qualifying, but a Permanent can count toward your yearly RUSA brevet kilometer totals. To learn more, go to the RUSA Permanents FAQ.
The Permanent routes listed here are hosted by Ralph Rognstad Jr., Randonneurs USA member #2719. St. Louis Randonneuring has no connection with the administration of any Permanent route.
