from rusa.org: "Article 6 Each rider must be self sufficient. No personal follow cars or support of any kind are permitted on the course. Personal support is only allowed at checkpoints. Any violation of this requirement will result in immediate disqualification. " Laying a bike on its side really shouldn't damage it. Most of the time on longer rides, I'll use another's mechanical or natural break as a time to check my rig, refuel, get food or layers out and make ready for the next section. If you are interested in brevets, most clubs usually put on Populaires during the summer, so you get familiar with the format and meet the riders. I will say that the randonneurs I've ridden with are some of the best folks I've been lucky to meet. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net "One Cog - Zero Excuses" L/S T-shirt - Now available http://www.cyclofiend.com/stuff Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
