Alternatively, you can add £2 to the entry fee for temporary Audax membership which covers you for the duration of the ride only. If you want a hilly ride, look for the AAA points; the higher the points the more you'll be climbing. Most of these rides can be started/finished anywhere by arrangement with the organiser. Listed here are Perms available from the Peak Audax area. For a full list of events available nationally, and for DIY Perms, click here.
