SFR 2brevet weekend: July 13/14, 2019
Hello Riders,
On July 13 and 14 2019, SFR will host the ninth annual 2brevet weekend.
On Saturday, July 13, we begin at the Golden Gate Bridge.
There will be a 300km brevet starting at 0600 that travels to Cloverdale, CA and then completes a loop to Hopland, Ukiah, Boonville and back to Cloverdale.
There will be a 200km brevet starting at 0700 that travels along approximately the same route but terminates in Cloverdale without doing the additional loop.
On Sunday, July 14, we begin at Cloverdale City Hall.
There will be a 200km brevet starting at 0800 that begins returns to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Some riders may elect to return south via shorter non-brevet routes, such as the Tour of the Three Breweries permanent (RUSA page, map).
For riders who wish to return to San Francisco by other means, the Sonoma Transit #60 bus and Golden Gate Transit #101 bus are recommended.
Registration
- Event registration on the SFR website is up! During registration, you may select the 300/200 or 200/200 option.
- These routes are individual brevets with one way routes. They are intended to be combined for a two day experience. Riders are welcome to join the brevet for one day, but will need to arrange transportation to or from Cloverdale on their own. To modify your registration, contact the RBA via the information given during the registration process.
Lodging
- 15 double-occupancy rooms are reserved for Saturday night July 14 at Cloverdale Wine Country Inn and Suites (324 South Cloverdale Boulevard, Cloverdale, CA 95425, 707-894-7500). They are $159/night + tax.
- When you contact the hotel to book your room, mention that you are reserving a room with the Jesse Marsh block. Use the regular line, not group reservations.
- If you would like to find a roommate, ask the SFR email list or 2brevet-weekend@sfrandonneurs.org
- The room block is held until June 1. After that, pricing will increase and availability will decrease.
- If you would like to ride this event and would like to meet your spouse, SO, or BFF in Cloverdale, please do so.
Dinner
- Saturday night's dinner location is the patio at the Railroad Station Bar and Grill. A meal is included with your registration.
