The routes are in the Coastal area of NC so they are fairly flat to rolling.
Pre-Registration is strongly recommended for all events! If you do not pre-register your start may delayed or you may not be able to get credit for the brevet.
The routes are such that most fit randonneurs should be able to finish on time with time to spare.

Brevets are generally not races and 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!
Riders should pre-register online to allow them to start on time. You may also be able to register at the event prior to the start. It is strongly suggested that you pre-register. If you do not pre-register, your start may delayed or you may not be able to start with the other riders. Day of event registration may close at before the official event start time for Brevets.
These are ACP Brevets. The total time allowed from start to finish is 27 hours for the 400k and 13.5 hours for each 200k. Riders must follow and complete the approved route. This route goes through several small towns in Coastal North Carolina traveling along mostly low traffic roads. There may be some sections where traffic is high, so please ride carefully and safely at all times. The intermediate controls are where stores allow you to refuel with some basic supplies. There are also some other stores along the route where you may be able to stop and get limited nutritional supplies.
These are basic route maps. Please note that all online images, que sheets and maps are for general reference. Offical routes will be provided at the event start for registered participants. Anoter map version is available by clicking on either map.
