Way to Search for Perms near Medford

Sanctioning: RUSA Only
Registration: via your RUSA account

Just a reminder that perms are personal rides and you’ll register directly with RUSA. Unlike a brevet, you can start a perm at any time on the day you list on the waiver but must complete the route within the time limit specified for the distance. Other nice aspects of perms is that you can start at any point along the route provided you return to that location. You need to pass each control in sequential order but do not need to follow the route exactly as designed.

Let us know if you have any questions. While perms are individual endeavors, people are welcome to post saying they intend to start at a particular time and welcome others also attempting the same perm to join them.

The Fall Team Event weekend Arrow & Dart rides are happening the weekend of Sep 24, 2022.  These are fun events where teams of 3-5 plan their own route to Brattleboro, VT and have 8-24 hours to ride their route of 120km – 360km+.  Find out more on the link and go to the NER Google group to find your teammates.
