Bicycle for Life

Brevets Feb 23, 2013 - 200k

07:00 Saturday morning

The routes are somewhat to very challenging routes in places due to the terrain, but not such that most reasonably fit randonneurs would not be able to finish on time. If your fitness is low or your stop times are long then time will be tight. Some of you may need a triple or low gear compact crank. You will need to watch your stop times and site seeing times, so consider planning to keep a steady effort on the easier sections which you have a good bit of in different sections of the routes and there are quite a few long down hills too. Please save some energy for the hills and long rollers.

There is no official SAG on any of these Brevets.

Brevets are generally not races for which 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!
