Meep! Meep! From AZ

Description:
This "Brevet Week" is a first for AZ Randonneurs. Since Phoenix is the envy of the US in November, and we can qualify for PBP 2027, why not? If you plan to go to PBP, here is an early opportunity to knock out some, or all, of the qualifying events necessary to get your ticket punched for Paris.

Here's what's on tap:
o 6 straight days of riding are available to all RUSA members. Choose one, choose all. Everyone is welcome to ride what they can. Bring some friends and make it a party.
o The days that each event is offered may be found in the CALENDAR.
o There will be a discount to those choosing ALL of the events. Like shopping at Costco, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets. Or, something like that.
o Lodging can be a challenge to find in The Valley of the Sun in Nov! Book early for your best opportunity.
o The 200k, 300k, 400k and 600k events are all ACP sanctioned. They may also be used as qualifiers for the 2027 edition of Paris-Brest-Paris!
o Order of events: 400k, rest day, 200k, 300k, rest day, 400k/600k (choose one).
o On each rest day, an optional 100k event is on the calendar for those that want to take full advantage of their time in Phoenix.
