Based on the Blackhawk Double Century.  This is a spectacular route from Oregon to Galena, IL which has more french bakeries than France!  This is the second of our brevet series in 2022.  Though brevets are not strictly required in 2022 to ride in Paris Brest Paris, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules, conventions and climbing required for Paris Brest Paris.  This route has about 10,000 ft of climbing and limited services so get ready for a challenge.

Great Lakes Ultra Cycling will do traditional brevets this year with Brevet Cards and all the traditional paperwork in keeping with the traditions of a sport that goes back to the 1800s.  You must stop at prescribed controls/stops to have your card signed, follow all RUSA rules, and finish by the official ride end to receive credit.  You must also be a member of RUSA to ride a brevet.  If this isn't for you, GLU will have other ultra cycling challenges available.

There is a mandatory Zoom meeting Thursday May 26th at 7:30 pm.   We will go over the rules of the event, the route and how we will do photo controls.
