Randonneur Round The Year 100 is a new challange approved by the Audax Ireland Committee at their 2024 AGM.
The “Standard” Randonneur Round the Year (RRTY) is awarded to any rider who completes at least one approved Brevet ride of minimum 200k each month for any 12 consecutive months.
This new challenge follows the same principles, but also allows for 100km events to count towards the RRTY100 Award.
The following events count as qualifiers.
i) Events in the Audax Ireland calendar. (Including the Easter 24 hour Fleche)
ii) Permanents of any distance over 100km, as approved by Audax Ireland.
iii) Audax Events in other countries.
Some of the available routes are included as part of a 200km event, most of which can be ridden as a “Calendar” event on the specific organised date, or as a “Permanent” on a date of your choice. Others are only available as Permanents. More routes will be added in due course.
The current available routes can be seen here https://www.audaxireland.org/events-calendar/gazetteer/100km-events-approximately/
If your RRTY includes any Permanents, please ensure you are familiar with the procedures which can be seen on the Permanents page here http://www.audaxireland.org/audax/permanents/
In the event of the cancellation of a calendar event (due to harsh weather or unforeseen organisational difficulties) the committee will examine the feasibility of allowing participants to complete an additional event the following month. This extra event will count for the one missed the previous month.
All participants must have a valid Cycling Ireland Licence.
It’s not necessary to ride a different event each month for the 12 months. The same event may be ridden for different months with no limit on the number of times it may be repeated.
You can start your RRTY in any month as long as you complete an approved brevet every month for the next 12 months. If you miss a month for any reason (unless there is an official dispensation for extreme weather or similar), then unfortunately you have to start again !
Once you have satisfied all the requirements and wish to claim your RRTY recognition, complete the Claim Form below and send it to Senan Burke within 2 years of completion ! (As agreed by Audax Ireland Committee in August 2024).
The optional RRTY Medal is currently FREE OF CHARGE, as agreed by the Audax Ireland Committee, but it needs to be requested, as not everyone will want one.
