Brevets are generally not races and there is no prize money, so please be polite to all volunteers, fellow riders and convenience store attendants. Helping a fellow rider to finish is allowed and should make you feel better.
The spirit of randonneuring emphasizes self sufficiency. Personal sag vehicles are not allowed on the course and can only be used in certain situations defined in RUSA's Rules For Riders. You should also follow all local traffic laws, rules & regulations while participating in any brevet.
Please ensure that you dress appropriately for the weather conditions and have sufficient supplies and extra funds if needed for anything that may arise while en route on brevets!
