Rules for Riders
1. Please read and understand RUSA’s Rules For Riders. As part of your ride registration, you will be asked to confirm that you have read, understand, and intend to comply with these rules.
2. TexSun Randonneurs requires all riders to declare a specific distance and route before the start of each event. All accompanying paperwork (waivers, registration, etc.) must be properly filled out. Failure to complete the required paperwork will result in disqualification. Remember, it is your responsibility to have your brevet card properly completed at each control point. An improperly completed brevet card will result in disqualification from the event. If you are just looking for a training ride and are unwilling to stop at controls or carry a brevet card, we ask you that you respect our event by training somewhere else.
3. Pay any and all fees associated with the brevet (fees for each ride length are posted on this web-site).
4. Be polite to the SAG, other volunteers, fellow riders, and convenience store attendants. This is not a race and there is no prize money. Helping a fellow rider to finish will make you feel better than beating him or her to the finish. It is usual to thank the SAG and express your appreciation, not make demands. See rule 6.
5. As per RUSA’s Rules for Riders, Article 15, any complaints, requested corrections, comments, or constructive criticism must be directed to the Regional Brevet Administrator (Edward Robinson) in writing within 48 hours of the event. We are human and not above mistakes. We welcome your comments and feedback as a way to continually improve our brevets.
6. The spirit of randonneuring emphasizes self-sufficiency. Personal SAG vehicles are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED and can only be used in certain situations explicitly defined in RUSA's Rules For Riders. We may occasionally supply neutral SAG, but we prefer that you become less and less dependent on it, especially if you plan to do a 1200km event. If you have a spouse or friend who is willing to support you, please ask that they become neutral SAG for the event.
7. Any rider who is determined by the RBA to threaten the safety and/or harmony of a TexSun Randonneurs event, such as by flagrantly or consistently violating the Rules for Riders, will be immediately disqualified from the event and banned from participating in future events, at the RBA’s discretion.
