· 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! .
