I stand corrected. Randy is right--for the first time this year, the
series
need not be done in order, giving more flexibility for qualification
if a
ride is missed or abandonned. Cool!

This is stated at http://www.rusa. org/faq3. html though I don't see
it
mentioned on the actual PBP English siste at
http://pbp.star- warz.net/ EN/index. php?showpage= 11

Hi, Barclay -

I read (somewhere? rusa.org?) that the brevets *don't* need to be
ridden in
increasing-length order this year (for PBP qualification) . Can you
confirm
or deny?

Thanks,
Randy Graves
