Oct 27 2021: 1000, Tel Aviv. Reports Controller: MenasheThe dates are also available as a Google Calendar (HTML View link, or iCal import link.)
*) A 600 SR permanent is also available for riding anytime. More details here.
*) 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, 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 2021 brevet season are listed above.
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.
Alternatively, you can fill out this form, and approve the confirmation email (to prevent spam.)
*) 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 20 NIS (roughly 6 USD / 5 EUR / 4 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 get the official ACP medal. Each distance has its own medal.
You need to notify the Reports Controller that you want to get the medal.
The design of the medals changes every 4 years, after PBP.
*) Prices may change during the season. If they do change, it will only be to a lower price.
Prices will not be more expensive than 20 NIS for registration.
Note: Prices are lower this season.
*) 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:
On 11/Sep/2021 we'll mark the 100th anniversary of the first brevet on 11/Sep/1921.
Like every year we have a brevet SR Series (200, 300, 400, 600) in Israel.
This season we'll have a Fleche, as well as Brevet 1000, which is good preparation for the 1200 that is planned for the 2022 season, in October 2021.

*) 1000, good preparation for next year's 1200.
The brevets have an increasing level of difficulty.
Starting with a relatively easy brevet 200, continuing with a 300 that includes night riding.
Brevet 400 is a big jump above brevet 300. Brevet 600 adds another night of riding, with accumulated difficulty.
Personally, I would recommend the following brevets for first time riders in Israel:
*) 400, on March 19 2021. From the southernmost town in Israel, Eilat, on the Red Sea, to central Tel Aviv, crossing 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, with many cafes and restaurants full of people having a Saturday breakfast or brunch.
*) 200, on September 11 2021, Lots of scenery and history.
