News and Announcements

About the Brevets

· 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!

About Populaires

· What is a Populaire? - A Populaire is a brevet-format ride shorter than 200km (100km-199km), run under the same rules and using the same kind of control cards as brevets.
· Learn about Brevets - Populaires let you learn how brevets work and get inside tips from brevet veterans.
· Prepare for the spring Brevets - Spring populaires help you build conditioning and pacing for the brevets that start the next month (in May).
· Learn about RUSA and Longer Randonnées - Populaires are a good chance to learn about Randonneurs USA and think about longer randonnées such as the Colorado Last Chance, Cascade 1200, or Shenandoah 1200 .
· Results and Recognition - Populaire results, like brevet results, are posted not only here but with RUSA, and count towards RUSA distance-level award medals.

These US 1200k's are offered in 2010:


How to Register - To register for a brevet, e-mail or otherwise contact the Colorado Brevet Administrator, or print and mail in an application.    RMCC Membership - If you are not an RMCC member, you may send in your membership with the application.
