Please note that Permanents can only be ridden by members of Randonneurs USA. The above table shows all of the Permanent routes offered (click on the underlined distances to see a route map). The first five are Permanent Populaires. The next six listed follow the same routes as Iowa Randonneurs’ brevets. The others are all Free-Route Permanents, and can be ridden in either direction. For more information on what these “any time” brevets are, take a look at the RUSA web site Permanent FAQs. The RUSA web site also has more information on Free-Route Permanents. If you want to ride one of these routes, you will need to pre-register using the form below. Please give reasonable notice, especially to ride one of the Free-Routes, as your exact planned route will need to be checked.

Route #9 above is listed with year round availability. This is to facilitate riders chasing RUSA’s R-12 award, which requires a 200km in each of 12 consecutive months. Please note that the ride remains strictly at your own risk, and is generally not recommended in the Winter months! The route is a loop to the South and West starting in Cedar Falls.

The Permanent routes listed here are hosted by Robert Fry, Randonneurs USA member #751. Cedar Valley Cyclists has no connection with the administration of any Permanent route.
