- ANSI
or Snell approved Helmets MUST be worn at all times on course.
- For the
300k, 400k
and 600k there will be a bike inspection for lights and reflective gear at
registration. At minimum, a steady burning front and rear lights and reflective gear are required for the 300k through the 600k
brevet. Vista tail lights must be steady burning and a spare bulb and
batteries are required for all lights that use them.
- Your bicycle
should be in good condition. All riders must carry at least one spare tube
and a pump.
- Personal sags
are not allowed on the route. They are to be met at the designated
checkpoints only.
- Check the regulations
page or RUSA for a complete list of brevet
rules.
There will be one motel room rented in Wilmington for the group's use on the
600k. The control
in Wilmington is at the Howard Johnson. There will be
another room in White Lake at
Langston's Motel room 22. Look for the sign to building 3&4.
- There will be a
minimum amount of food and beverages along the route and most stores are
closed at night, so come prepared. There will be limited coverage of
the route by organizers, riders are expected to be self sufficient.
I have added a Tips
page with information I hope will be useful for riding the brevets and will add
to it as I find more useful tips.
