Results for Audax UK riders from the 2011
The rest of this page gives details of entering the 2011 event. No doubt 2015 will be similar, so it has been left as a possible useful guide.
Registration for the event.
Registration will be accepted through the PBP web site from June 4th 2011. We'll post more details here when we have them about what else you'll need to do.
Pre-qualifying rides in the UK.
Riders who complete a Brevet Randonneur Mondiaux event in 2010 will be allowed to register for PBP before the 4th June. Take a look at the registration page on the PBP website for exact details, but basically the longer the BRM event you ride in 2010 the earlier you can register to ride PBP in 2011. You will still have to ride the qualifying rides in 2011 before your entry will be accepted.
Preregistration on the PBP website will be available from 3rd April 2011
Qualifying rides in the UK.
Paris-Brest-Paris is organised by the French club, Audax Club Parisien (ACP).
ACP anticipate that there will be about 6,000 participants in 2011.
In order to qualify for entry to the 2011 PBP by riding in the UK, randonnees designated as RM or 'Randonneur Mondiaux' events must be completed at the four distances of 200, 300, 400 and 600 kilometres, during the first half of 2011.
The following dates are provisional:
- A 200 before April 22
- A 300 from April 7 to May 20)
- A 400 from April 28 to June 3
- A 600 from May 17 to June 17
Not all AUK events are 'qualifying rides' - those that are, are clearly marked in the 2011 Calendar.
During the qualifying periods it is expected that all the rides in the calendar for the distance required in that period will actually be 'Randonneur Mondiaux' events.
The above dates are specific to the UK. It is possible to substitute one or more qualifying RM events from other countries, but in this case the dates may vary.
