Ever since Permanents were introduce to the Audax Australian members in early November 2008, we have been practicing 'social isolation'. I am not saying its been a good thing or even a bad thing, the individual rider can do what he or she wants to do. Here are just the statistical facts (long before the virus even existed):
(1st Nov 2008 to 31st Oct 2019)
76.63% of Permanents have been ridden alone.
17.18% of Permanents have been ridden with 2 riders
3.80% of Permanents have been ridden with 3 riders
1.53% of Permanents have been ridden with 4 riders
0.55% of Permanents have been ridden with 5 riders
0.31% of Permanents have been ridden with 6 or more riders.
