Rules and Regulations
Take time before the first brevet to read and understand the LIABILITY RELEASE AND WAIVER on the registration page. On the morning of EACH brevet you be required to sign a copy of this waiver.
ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES!
Cuesheets with course directions will be provided to all starters on the morning of the respective brevets.
If you must ride into the night, you will be disqualified if you do not have lights. The minimum headlight is a 2.4 watt halogen. LED lamps WILL be acceptable as a primary headlight. The taillight must be a non-blinking red light. It is HIGHLY recommended that you carry a backup headlight. A REFLECTIVE VEST OR SAM BROWNE BELT AND REFLECTIVE ANKLE BANDS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL BREVETS. Riders who are caught violating the lighting and reflective vest/ankle band requirements will be disqualified.
Read the "Rules for Riders" from the Randonneurs USA website. Additionally you should want to read their FAQs. RIDERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT! No support from anyone along the route may be accepted except from ride officials or at control points. Pack everything necessary to repair multiple flats and the tools necessary to make minor repairs. Riders are expected to have their bikes in good repair. A map holder is recommended to hold the cue sheet and if riding at night a light to illuminate the cue sheet. Bring sufficient cash in case of an emergency.
Riders are personally responsible for having their cards properly completed at the controls.
In case of an injury, call 911 first. We are concerned with your safety and well-being, but we are not qualified to assist in such an emergency. Your cue sheet will contain a phone number to call if you have to abandon. If you abandon, please let us know so we won't be waiting for you at the end of the ride. Most rides will not have a sag vehicle on the course.
