How it works

1 / Pre-requisites

  • Any cyclist taking part in the Brevet Hiberniae should be a member of Audax Ireland for the total period of their Brevet tour.

  • It is NOT necessary to be a Cycling Ireland member.

  • It is recommended but NOT necessary to have some form of cycling insurance.

  • A safe and road worthy bicycle is a must.  As the tour is unsupported, carrying suitable tools and spares and having the knowledge to use them is good insurance.

  • Wearing and/or carrying clothing suitable for the current and forecasr conditions will ensure a more comfortable experience.

2 / Proof of Passage
  • At each location, take a photograph with your bicycle in front of the location as proof you have cycled to the site on the pictured bicycle.

  • Record the date of the visit

  • Retaining an activity link (Strava, MapMyRide etc) is not mandatory

NOTE: Keeping regular backups of photographs is highly recommended

3 / Tracking Progress
  • The following Google Sheet should be used to record visits: Brevet Hiberniae Template

  • Open the link and click 'Use Template' to make a copy for your own purposes.

  • Further instructions are found on the first page of the sheet.

4 / Brevet Categories

There are three award categories:

  1. National Brevet:  A visit to one place in all counties.

  2. Provincial Brevet: All the places visited in a single province.

  3. Brevet Hiberniae: All the places in all counties.

​

When a category is completed and you are ready to claim a reward, submit the Google sheet with all the necessary proof of passage information to ???@???.com.
