Event Types
Calendar events are held on a specific date and appearing in the Audax Australia calendar. Permanent events can be ridden by Audax Australia members at any time.
Calendar and permanent events take several forms:
- Brevet Randonneur Mondiaux (BRM): 200 kilometres or greater calendar events controlled through a series of time and distance checks by means of a brevet card. BRM events are registered with ACP or Les Randonneurs Mondiaux (LRM) and appear in the Randonneur Mondiaux calendar published by ACP or the calendar published by LRM.
- Brevet UAF (BUAF): 100 km or greater calendar events ridden under UAF rules (peloton riding at a fixed pace) and registered with the UAF.
- Brevet Australia (BA): calendar events controlled similarly to BRM rides but registered with Audax Australia only.
- Brevet Dirt (BD): calendar events shorter than 200 kilometres where the route is primarily on unsealed surfaces, controlled similarly to BRM rides and registered with Audax Australia only.
- Brevet Permanent (BP): permanent events where the route may be either primarily on sealed or unsealed surfaces and controlled similarly to BRM rides but registered with Audax Australia only.
- Brevet Raid (BR): point-to-point multi-day permanent events that do not have time limits on intermediate checkpoints and are registered with Audax Australia only.

Famous quotes containing the words event and/or types:
“Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child’s world and thus a world event.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
