A completed eBrevet

Using an eBrevet at Mickle Trafford control

If you have a smart phone (Android or iOS), you can ride Audax events with an eBrevet. This saves you all the trouble of collecting receipts from shops, cafes, or petrol stations. It may ease your anxieties about your Garmin batteries giving out.

You don't even need to keep your phone on during the ride if you are worried about battery life;

E-Brevet Instructions

your phone only needs to be on (with location services turned on) at each control. You only need mobile data or access to WiFi when you download the eBrevet before the ride and to upload your completed eBrevet after the ride.

There is also the facility to customise your Perm ride. You can often reverse the direction of the ride, start at a different control, or specify your own start place. Or indeed any combination of these. You cannot customise a Calendar Event.

1: Event No:
For Calendar e-Brevet , the Event No will look something like 23-66 where 23 is the season number, and 66 is the event number.

For Perm e-Brevet , the Event No will have a format of AA99 , such as MW25 for the Elementary 50.

You can obtain this Event No from the event website page, or ask the event Organiser.

For a customised e-Brevet , the Event No will have a format of MW99-nnnnn-yyyymmdd where
- 'nnnnn' is your Membership number and
- 'yyyymmdd' is the date you created this customised version.

2: At the control:
It can sometimes take a few seconds for your phone to 'catch up' with your location, so if the phone says you are not yet at the control, just cancel and try again. If it still says you're not at the control after a couple of tries, that's the time check that you are in the right place! The App will tell you how far you are away, and in which direction it lies. Try again when you're in the right place.

If you've missed the control you can SKIP it and try to convince the Organiser that your ride should still be validated.
