With quite a few riders having completed the Mile Failte, Celtic Knot and/or PBP recently, there could be a few people in the running for the ACP Randonneur 5000 Award so we thought a reminder would be useful.  In order to achieve this award you must complete the following within a 4 year period from the date of the first event:

A full Brevet Series of 200, 300, 400, 600 and 1000kms (No substitutions allowed)
Paris-Brest-Paris
An Easter Fleche
Additional events to bring the total up to 5000kms in 4 years.

The application form says that international applications should be co-ordinated by the ACP Representative.  However this is no longer required, and I have confirmed with Genevieve Faburel that she will accept applications directly from riders, using the form below.  Applications must be received by October 31st, or will have to wait until the following year.

The cost of the Award is €10, which should be paid to Audax Ireland by Paypal at paypal@audaxireland.org or contact Niall to make alternative payment arrangements.

If anyone needs assistance with an application you can contact me at ndiamond@eircom.net

As you probably know by now Audax Ireland Medals are available in 200km, 300km, 400km and 600km, priced at €5 each. The Medals are all the same, with the distance engraved on the back.

We also have our RRTY and 4 Provinces Medals available, price is €10 each (due to smaller quantities, and gold finish).

In an ideal world, organisers would get a stock of Audax Ireland Medals for their event, and offer them to riders at the finish. However as the organisers are often not present at the finish this is not always possible.

Therefore anyone who wants any Audax Ireland Medals can order from me at ndiamond@eircom.net and I will post them out. You need to specify what event/s they are for, and I will verify the rides before sending.
Postage is extra, a small jiffy bag with up to 3 Medals will cost €3.50.
Payment can be made by Paypal to paypal@audaxireland.org – make sure you say who they are for, specify the events, and include your postal address.  As usual, select payments to family/friends, and make sure you pay any Paypal charges.
Any queries to ndiamond@eircom.net and I will be happy to help.

ACP Medals

ACP Event medals continue to be available for €5, they should be ordered from, and paid to, event organisers in the usual way.

Paul O’Donoghue looks after the ACP Super Randonneur Medals, which cost €6 and should be paid by Paypal to podluna@gmail.com
If you ordered and paid for an SR medal with your PBP entry you don’t need to do anything else.

If you are not on Paypal, please contact the relevant person above and confirm alternative methods of payment.

Cheers, Niall.
