New conversion of SFR brevet route to perm route

[Rob Hawks]

Hi all,

John Guzik has done the work to convert the Faultline 200km brevet into a perm route, submitted it, and has received approval. 

I'll check with our webmaster to see about reviving the perm page there so that there will be a local list of local perms available (for which a RUSA member could register with RUSA to ride).

If you have separately submitted an SFR brevet route as a perm route and had it approved, please send me an off list note so that I can add it to the list.

Rob,

Thank you for the information and for everyone's hard work with the new Permanent system! Quick question: are there any plans to incorporate 300km, 400km, or 600km routes, or are the routes only going to be 200km for the foreseeable future?

Thank you,

Kevin W.

Kevin and everyone,

The new Permanent program is now accepting rides of longer lengths than 200k. If you have a ride that you’d like to submit, jump over to the RUSA website and the perms section for information on how to do that.

Hi,

These conversions can really be done by anyone. John has been working on these on behalf of SFR members for a variety of reasons (he has access to the original routes, he is really good at this and has submitted several of his own perm routes and has standardized a method of cue notation that will adhere to submission guidelines and look a lot like what we are used to with SFR brevet cue sheets) .Once submitted, the routes are owned by RUSA so there is no longer any requirement for the person submitting to administer the route after that. If you want to convert a current SFR route to a permanent route check the details on submitting routes to see if you might need to change the start/finish locations to address proof of passage acquisition, and please keep as much as possible to the spirit of the brevet version of the route. Also, it might be best to announce here and/or on the SFR Facebook group page to avoid two or more people trying to submit the same thing to RUSA.

Many if not most of the 200km routes that began as perms under the old structure and then were converted into SFR brevet routes have been added to the new perm program already (Del Puerto Canyon, Freestone Bread Run, Two Rock-Valley Ford (nee Jittery Jaunt).

So far the focus has been on 200km routes, in part based on the assumption that most perm riders aren't doing 400 or 600km routes just yet, and very few are doing 300km routes. Kinda best bang for the buck so to speak.
