This site only includes RUSA events hosted by the Finger Lakes Randonneurs that will use the eBrevet app as an alternative method for proof of passage. You can read about the eBrevet app at it's documentation site on github.
The 600 km starts in Perry, NY near Letchworth State Park. It traverses flat to rolling terrain to Chautaugua Lake and then passes through Amish country on its way to Pennsylvania. The route is rolling hills through PA to the turn-around in Conneaut Ohio. The return through Erie, PA is flat with the hills appearing again near Findley Lake. From Jamestown back to the finish the brevet follows the route out. The main sleep stop is at Findley Lake at 243 miles.
Unlike other bicycling events,
randonneuring routes are not marked with painted or posted
arrows or other signage beyond pre-existing road and traffic signs.
Instead, the route is defined by a map accompanied by distances, turns, and detailed cue
notes. This information comprises the official directions for the route. We have
done our best to embed these notes and directions with an accurate GPS map. This map, combined with a
GPS navigation unit or compatible Smart Phone device, may prove useful as a navigation assist.
It's important that the cue notes are displayed in plain view of the rider so they may be referred to
frequenly. Items such as Control locations, Hazard Warnings and other useful information are displayed on the
cue notes only! Cue notes rendered on cue sheets may be abbreviated with common shorthand given in a
glossary at the top of the cue sheet (eg TFL=Traffic Light, etc...) Please respect that spotting cues, notes,
and warnings were placed there based on the experience of past riders. Ignore their notes at your
peril. Keep alert for other route changes and hazards that are not documented.
