STATEMENT
At Leuven Randonneurs we consciously choose to go off the beaten track. This means that we make as much use as possible of the B roads. In the southern part of the country, these are roads that can be of poor quality (route dégradée). Think of potholes in the road, small stretches of unpaved road, cobblestones, etc. We are convinced that these roads are an added value to the route and the experience. We assume that every randonneur can assess the danger and adapt his or her riding style. We explore every ride with a bike with a minimum tire width of 23mm.
Gravel or road?
Road.
is de groepsstart om 08h00 verplicht of kan er vrij gestart worden vanaf 07h00?
Dag Bart,
Groepsstart is zeker geen verplichting. Vanaf 07:00 kunnen de kaarten opgehaald worden en kan er gestart worden.

Hello, I’ll likely register and participate.
Just to know more and get organized better I have 2 questions: are there some restoration points along the parcours? Second question: is it a BRM brevet recognized by the Audax Club Parisien?
Thanks in advance and see you on Sunday,
Andrea
Hello Andrea,
All the controls are in towns where you can buy something (Dinant at 100km has a lot of options). This is an official ACP brevet (that can be used to pre-qualify for PBP).

Hi,
What is the Total D+ of this BRM 200 km?
When I load the GPX into Garmin connect, I see 1,487 m and on the MyBrevet registration page I see Altitude meters: 2,783.
Best regards.
Eric
Somewhere in between. My Wahoo registered around 2,200 D+ when riding it in February.

Thank Karel,
I made my registration this morning.
It will be a hard BRM 🙂 … I hope to be back by 21h30… (as I am a slow rider).
See you Sunday morning.
Eric
Hello,
Registrations via mybrevet are already closed. Usually possible until the day before the start.
I will pay at start, but no upload of my trace possible via mybrevet in the case …
Sorry Michel. With 100 pre subscriptions I closed them last night so I could make the list today and send everyone an e-mail with the last info. You can still register in the morning.
Sorry Karel, I just discover your answer and it’s too late. I will try to register via mybrevet at 16H00. If not possible I will pay at start. Thanks for previous answer. Michel.
Vette rit, dikke merci voor parcours & organisatie!
