Pre-Registration is strongly recommended for all events! If you do not pre-register your start may delayed or you may not be able to get credit for the brevet.
Note: There were some closed roads due to flooding that are now open so the 600k route has changed to go through Sunset Beach via Rocky Point
The route is such that most fit randonneurs should be able to finish on time with time to spare.
The drop bags will be taken to the official overnight hotel for you and picked up to bring back to the finish sometime Sunday.
For those that are doing the 600k, a small individual drop bag may be used and can be taken to ---Comfort Inn, Shallote NC at about 258 miles-- for you. The drop bags will be taken to the official overnight hotel for you and picked up to bring back to the finish sometime Sunday.
Please do not put anything in your drop bag that you cannot do without for a few days just in case we miss you or don't get them to you at the finish for some reason. If you do not wait at the finish for your drop bags, they can be shipped to you at your expense, BFL will not pay for shipping of items to you.

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!
Riders should pre-register online to allow them to start on time. You may also be able to register at the event prior to the start. It is strongly suggested that you pre-register. If you do not pre-register, your start may delayed or you may not be able to start with the other riders. Day of event registration may close at before the official event start time for Brevets.

13.5 hours for the 200k and
20 hours for the 300k and
27 hours for the 400k and

Riders must follow and complete the approved route. This route goes through several small towns in central North Carolina traveling along mostly low traffic roads. There may be some sections where traffic is high, so please ride carefully and safely at all times. The intermediate controls are where stores allow you to refuel with some basic supplies. There are also some other stores along the route where you may be able to stop and get limited nutritional supplies.
These are basic route maps. Please note that all online images, que sheets and maps are for general reference. Offical routes will be provided at the event start for registered participants. Another map version is available by clicking on either map.
