BLF-RUSA Events

Below are the proposed dates and limited info. More info will be posted as start time for each event get closer or details are finalized.

Brevets

• There may be some RUSA sanctioned brevets scheduled for later in 2008 season, so check back or send a request for a date you would like for a brevet event to run. Remember the RUSA brevets do not get ACP credit and they must be scheduled early enough to fall within the RUSA brevet guidelines, so the route must be approved before that and have a number assigned to it.

  • Event Listings in the Newsletter
    If possible, RBAs should submit RUSA events in time for publication in the RUSA newsletter. RUSA publishes the newsletter in February, May, August, and November of each year. The deadline for submissions is the 10th of the preceding month (for example, January 10 for the February issue). This table summarizes the deadlines:
    

    • Event Date	Newsletter Issue	Submission Deadline
      March, April, May	February	January 10
      June, July, August	May	April 10
      September, October, November	August	July 10
      December, January, February	November	October 10

• • Requirements for Organizing Events:

• • • U.S. clubs, individuals or organizations seeking permission to organize BRM events must submit their brevet calendars for the following year to RUSA before October 1. RUSA will in turn transmit them to the ACP's Representative for Foreign BRM events before the due date.
    • For events to be officially designated as Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux they must be on the official ACP calendar published each year in January. Consequently, it is absolutely imperative that event calendars be submitted on time. RUSA will notify those organizers requesting to schedule events, but whose events will not carried on the official calendar. Organizers are equally responsible to notify RUSA of any cancellation or change of dates.

Flèche Carolina

• Fleche Carolina finish location should rotate to different parts of North Carolina from year to year.

• Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring.
