These are Audax events that can be ridden just about any time to suit the individual rider, as opposed to Calendar Events. You must have 3rd party insurance to take part in a Perm so if you are not a member of Audax UK, CTC or BCF you may not be suitably covered - so sign up now!

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.
