Homologation

Dur­ing the ride, cyclists must have a brevet card val­i­dat­ed at des­ig­nat­ed loca­tions along the route. These check­points are locat­ed at inter­vals of 50 to 75 km. In order to be cer­ti­fied, par­tic­i­pants must have pre­sent­ed their card at all check­points dur­ing check­point hours.

Each rid­er receives his or her brevet card at the start of the ride and must return it by mail (postage-paid enve­lope pro­vid­ed) upon com­ple­tion of the ride.
