DUE TO THE SUDDEN OPENING OF WISCONSIN AND CONCERN OVER TRAFFIC THE ROUTE IS BEING CHANGED.
Safety is a huge concern. Wisconsin has suddenly lifted all restrictions. The primary concern for this is not the pandemic, but the fact that a large number of people may very well flood the roads. With bars open and very crowded there are addditional concerns over drunk driving. We are moving to a new 300k along the Fox and Rock Rivers.

Due to restrictions for the COVID-19 panemic, this is a socially distanced ride. RUSA is not holding brevets during this period so this is a GLR Event only. All members will receive a GLR ride medal (provided they want one) for this ride - this is a free perk for being a member of our club.
Socially distanced rides have 2 major distinctions to promote the safety of our riders.
- BYOS - Bring your own Start. You may start anywhere along the route you like during a time window from 5:30 am (dawn) to 9:30 am. This is to spread people out on the course. Riding in groups of more than 2-3 is discouraged.
- Electronic Proof of Passage. There will not be brevet cards or receipts or paperwork - everything is electronic including ride reporting. At the finish of the ride, riders will submit a URL to a Strava or RideWithGPS track along with their start and finish times and distance. You may report a lower distance if you are not comfortable riding the entire distance. It's more important this year to keep active and ride than finish. There will not be set controls and you are encouraged to stop as frequently as is comfortable for you. Do not forget to stop or carry enough nutrition!
There is a MANDATORY zoom meeting the night before the ride. Role will be taken, if you do not attend or make arrangements ahead of time, your registration will be cancelled.
Michele Brougher is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
