Rouleur Week

Rouleur Week

Brevet Registration             Registered Riders

The idea is to have a fun social week of riding at a time when the weather is typically very nice in the region.  We have 4 new routes over the 7 days but there will be rides on each day including a team event. This is a great opportunity to complete a Rouleur award, add some k’s to your annual distance award or gather some more routes for your Scout award. It’s a flexible event, if you want to ride some or all of the days it’s up to you
