Come join us on May 1 for the Brevet Week 400 km. This ride is part unsupported series-in-a-week, which is a great way to claim all of your ACP Super Randonneur series at once. We'll have cards and cue sheets at the start, but you're on your own for everything else. It's a true celebration of self-sufficient randonneuring!

The Brevet Route 2427 Ellensburg - Old Blewett Pass 400K will follow a similar route that was run as a brevet in 2005. This route starts over Old Blewett Pass and then take the Wenatchee River valley into Wenatchee. The route will then go east to Quincy and due south through Beverly, Mattawa and cross over the Columbia River at Vernita Bridge. The route will go west on SR 24 to Yakima, then up the Yakima Canyon and finish at the Super 8 in Ellensburg. The total climbing on the proposed 400k route is approximately 11,000 ft.

If you missed this ride last year, now is your chance to experience it in Eastern Washington.

Looking forward to Brevet Week! Here are some important details for the self-sufficient randonneuring Brevet Week rides:
  • Hotel rooms will not be reserved at the start/finish control! Please make your own accommodation reservations if you want or need to sleep in a room. Plan on limited food service availability late at night. We are organizing Brevet Week to be self-sufficient with no support and at a minimum ride fee.
  • If you are not staying at the Super 8 the night after each finish of Brevet Week, do not park there. They have a limited parking lot. Park at the Super 1 Foods (far front parking spots nearest Canyon Rd), just a half mile north of Super 8, at the corner of Canyon Rd and W Mountain View Ave.
  • Study the RWGPS. There are some turns that don’t have signs and there are slight right/slight left turns that you sometimes need to take at the same intersection with a 90 degree right/left turn. If you are a cue sheet only navigator, there are also bike trails that you might be riding at night, with no signs to describe which way to go. We did our best to give some landmarks to help with the way in these situations, but it’s always good to see the RWGPS larger map beforehand.
  • After you finish at the Super 8, I may or may not be at the finish control. I will have an envelope at the front desk. If I am not there, please have your card initialed, time stamped, put your control card in the envelope with your finish time under your name on the envelope, and text me that you have finished.My number will be on the control card. 
  • If you will DNF, please text me so that I won't call your emergency contact when you don't check in at the finish.
  • If there are any questions or anything please call me as I will be staying at a house in Ellensburg later in the evening.
