Hello,
Details about the Israeli Brevet Series of 2015. (Hebrew)
Last update: 6/Oct/2014
This post is in English, for anyone who is not fluent in Hebrew.
Israeli riders, please refer to the Hebrew version.
I am the representative of the ACP (Audax Club Parisien) in Israel.
This means that I'm entitled to send them the results of brevets held in Israel.
A few pointers to know if you want your rides in Israel to be recognized and homologated by the ACP:
*) All the ACP rules apply.
*) The dates for the Israeli brevet season of 2014:
7 November 2014, Brevet 200 Afula - Katzrin
5 December 2014, Brevet 200 Ramat Yishai - Sea of Galilee
16 January 2015, Brevet 200 South, start on Thursday at 22:00
6 February 2015, Brevet 300 Nachshon - Steel Division Monument
27 February 2015, Brevet 400 Eilat - Tel Aviv
19 Mar 2015, Brevet 600 TBD
16 April 2015, Brevet 600 Einat - Big Crater
15 May 2015, Brevet 200 Afula - Katzrin
The dates are also available as a Google Calendar (HTML View link, or iCal import link.)
*) Exact start location and time will be available at least 2 weeks before each brevet.
*) Exact route will be published at least 2 weeks before each brevet.
There is a chance that the brevet route will change before the start, considering various conditions (e.g. weather, road works, etc.), or even postponed by a week or more.
*) Controls can take different shapes and forms. e.g. (non final list!)
- Manned Control, where a person will be present at the control and provide proof of passage.
- Receipt Control, where you need to buy something at a store that will be open during the control opening hours (e.g. 24/7 petrol station's convenience store,) and keep the receipt with printed time and place.
Only the rider can buy the item (meaning: if you ride in a group, each rider must buy something!)
- Photo Control, where you need to take a picture at a certain place.
Make sure that the rider (and/or the bike) are visible in the picture, as well a feature of the area.
The picture can be taken by anyone (meaning: if you ride in a group, not everyone need to take a picture.)
*) A GPS recorded track can be used as proof under these terms:
A GPS proof can only replace a Photo Control (meaning: it cannot replace a Manned Control, nor Receipt Control, or any other control type.)
The file should be in .gpx format.
The recording should prove passage in all control points. e.g. if the control is a petrol station, the recording should show passage through the service road.
The recording can only prove passage for the rider itself. Meaning: if you ride in a group, only those with a gps can use it as proof.
*) Every brevet has a designated "Reports Controller."
The Reports Controller collects all the proofs of passage in controls.
They will check the proofs of passage, and produce an Excel file with the results of all the riders.
That Excel file will be sent to me, and I will pass it on to the ACP.
The Reports Controller is in charge of collecting riders contact details before the ride, checking proofs of passage, collecting ACP Registration fees after a successful brevet, creating the Excel file, and sending it to me.
There are no other obligation and/or responsibilities for the Reports Controller.
As of writing of this post, the Reports Controllers for the 2014 brevet season are:
200 November 7: David
200 December 5: Menashe
200 January 16: David
300 February 6: Menashe
400 February 27: David
600 Mar 19: Menashe
600 April 16: David
200 May 15: Menashe
I can be contacted first by email, and refer you to the relevant Reports Controller.
My contact details are listed at the relevant ACP page.
*) The Reports Controller must be contacted up to 2 weeks before a brevet, according to the brevet dates written above.
It will help them getting ready with everything that's needed to follow the riders.
A rider who finished a brevet successfully is entitled to register with the ACP. This will be recognized all over the world, and could be used when registering to any brevet anywhere in the world.
Registration fees are 40 NIS (roughly 11 USD / 8 EUR / 7 GBP) per rider per brevet.
You need to pay the registration fees within 48 hours after a successful brevet.
Registration schedule for a support car (that you can meet only at controls) are the same as the riders. There are no fees for a support car.
*) After a successful finish, you can also buy the official ACP medal at a price of 40 NIS (in addition to the registration fees.) Each distance has its own medal.
You need to notify the Reports Controller that you want to buy the medal, and pass the additional fees within 48 hours after a successful brevet.
The design of the medals changes every 4 years, after PBP.
*) The brevets are held on public roads.
Therefore, there's no way we can block any other rider from riding on the same road at the same time as the brevet. But if you want your ride to be recognized, you must notify the Reports Controller before the brevet.
The Reports Controller is entitled to not recognizing any ride without giving any reason (before or after the brevet!)
Good Luck!

A few additional words about the brevets:
Like every year we have a brevet SR Series (200, 300, 400, 600) in Israel.
Since 2015 is a PBP year, an additional Brevet 600 will be added, so riders will have a chance to make up for any missed brevet.
*) 200 Nov 2014, Northern. We expect to have some riders that rode in the 1200 km on the week before.
Route: Afula to Katzrin and Gilboa. not easy circular, starting near Nazareth, going to the Sea of Galilee, passing near many early Christianity attractions (like Tabgha, Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, Bethsaida, etc.)
climbing to the Golan Heights, and Mount Gilboa.
Start time is 05:00 am.
*) 200 Dec 2014, Probably an easy route in the north, from Ramat Yishay, through Yizreel Valley, and round the Sea of Galilee.
Start time is 05:00 am.
*) 200 Jan 2015, Route to be determined.
Start time is 05:00 am.
*) 200 May 2015, Northern. Afula to Katzrin and Gilboa. not easy circular, starting near Nazareth, going to the Sea of Galilee, passing near many early Christianity attractions (like Tabgha, Capernaum, Mount of Beatitudes, Bethsaida, etc.)
climbing to the Golan Heights, and Mount Gilboa.
Start time is 05:00 am.
*) 300, relatively easy out-and-back, from the center of Israel to the Western Negev Desert, and back.
There are no major climbs in this route.
Start time is 22:00 on a Thursday, finishing on Friday at 18:00.
*) 400, not easy on-way, from Eilat on the Red Sea, to Tel Aviv, crossing the whole of the desert in southern Israel, as well as the Ramon Crater.
Start time is 09:00 on Friday, finishing on Saturday at 12:00 noon.
*) 600 March 2015, Route to be determined.
Could be from Arad to Eilat and back.
Attractions: Crossing the whole of the Negev Desert, Eilat and the Red Sea, Ramon and Big Craters, Dead Sea.
Start time is Tuesday evening, finishing on Friday at 12:00 noon.
*) 600 April 2015, not easy out-and-back, from Central Israel to Mitzpe Ramon, and back.
Attractions: Climbing Nes Harim which is one of the most known climbs in Israel, and going through the Big Crater.
Start time is Thursday evening, finishing on Saturday at 12:00 noon.
The brevets have an increasing level of difficulty.
Starting with a relatively easy brevet 200,continuing with a night-start brevet 300.
Brevet 400 is a big jump above brevet 300/ The first brevet 600 is expected to be hard, and the 2nd brevet 600 is expected to be as hard as brevet 400.
Personally, I would recommend the following brevets for first time riders in Israel:
*) 200, on Nov 2014. Lots of scenery and history.
*) 400, on February 2015. From the southernmost town in Israel, Eilat, on the Red Sea, to Central Tel Aviv, crissing the whole Negev desert, and the Ramon Crater, the largest in the world!
On Saturday morning you'll be passing through Israel's hub of road cycling - You'll get a taste of what it's like. Then you'll go through one of Tel Aviv's main roads, full of cafes and restaurants full of people having a Saturday breakfast or brunch.
*) 600, on March 2015. As mentioned earlier in this post. 'nuff said... :-)
*) 200, on May 2015. As mentioned earlier in this post. 'nuff said... :-)
