About the Brevets
|
·
RMCC Membership - Membership
in the Rocky Mountain Cycling Club
is required, for insurance reasons, to ride brevets and populaires, unless otherwise noted. You may join at the ride start if you bring a check and application. |
|
·
Sign-In/Inspection/Departure -
Riders depart together at the prescribed departure time. Be
ready to sign in and have your bicycle inspected at least one-half
hour before departure and especially for the shorter (better
attended) brevets, plan to arrive an hour before departure.
All routes finish where they start, unless otherwise indicated.
|
|
· Pre-Registration - Pre-registration allows us to staff and supply the ride appropriately. If the ride must
be cancelled or rescheduled, registered riders can be informed.
Pre-registrants may also receive materials such as route maps in
advance. A few brevets require confirmed pre-registration. How to Register
|
|
· Qualifying - If
a brevet requires pre-qualification, the event director will contact
you after you register.
|
|
· Medals - RUSA members may order an
ACP medal directly from RUSA after successfully completing an Audax Club Parisien-sanctioned brevet. You may order medals individually or for multiple events (more economical). Events which are ACP sanctioned are noted below.
|
|
· Rules - Please
read the brevet rules carefully before coming to
the ride. You may also peruse the waiver
which riders sign on day-of-event sign in. Bonne route!
