Arizona Permanents
 
NOTE that this list of available Permanents is obsolete. This list was compliled prior to RUSA taking over ownership of all Permanent routes. The links and descriptions below may still be available for viewing, but none have any affiliation to RUSA.

For a current official list of Permanent routes, go to the official page here:

https://rusa.org/cgi-bin/permsearch_GF.pl
You should also note that RUSA membership + a yearly fee are required to ride any RUSA Permanent.

A Permanent is like a brevet, but you can ride it any time, not just on one specific date. Like brevets, routes can start and finish in the same location, but they can also run point-to-point, and can be any distance of 200km or longer. Shorter distances, from 100-199km, are referred to as a Permanent Populaire.

Permanents are open to any RUSA member and can be ridden alone or with a group. Permanent rides in the US are validated by RUSA and do not count towards ACP awards or PBP qualifying. However, a permanent can count towards your yearly RUSA Distance, R-12 and P-12 awards.

To learn more about permanents, read the RUSA Permanent FAQ. To schedule a permanent, click on the Owner name below to send a request by email. After selecting a mutually agreeable date and time, submit a completed waiver/registration form to the owner.
