Here&#8217;s where our region stands:<\/p>\n<p>1. The <strong>2021 calendar<\/strong> is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/rusa.org\/cgi-bin\/eventsearch_PF.pl\">RUSA website<\/a> and it&#8217;s also below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">200 &#8212; Jan. 16, 2021 (Tavares\/Eustis)<br \/>\n300 &#8212; Jan. 17, 2021 (Tavares\/Eustis)<br \/>\n400 &#8212; Mar. 6, 2021 (TBD)<br \/>\n600 &#8212; Apr. 17, 2021 (TBD)<br \/>\n100 &#8212; June 5, 2021 (San An 100K)<br \/>\n200 &#8212; July 23, 2021 (San An Night Ride)<br \/>\n200 &#8212; Sept. 11, 2021 (RM Anniversary Ride; St. Petersburg)<br \/>\n1200 &#8212; Nov. 4, 2021 (Cracker Swamp)<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll notice a couple of things about the calendar. There&#8217;s <strong>no fl\u00e8che<\/strong>. There are also <strong>no audax brevets<\/strong>. These are my favorite events and they&#8217;re also incompatible with a pandemic. I await their riotous, gluttonous return in 2022!<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 <strong>Where&#8217;s the registration pages \/ How firm are these events?<\/strong> These are related questions. Do not expect registration information for the January brevets to be posted until mid-December at the earliest and possibly as late as the end of the year. It&#8217;s possible these rides will not be held. They could be rescheduled to the Fall. We simply don&#8217;t know now. We could have national\/state\/local stay-home orders or other circumstances that require cancellation or make it the responsible thing to do. RUSA could require cancellation. I could be sick. Trust that we&#8217;ll have the rides if we can and trust that I&#8217;ll communicate more information as soon as it&#8217;s reasonably responsible to do so. What I don&#8217;t want to do is to announce that <em>everything is on!!!11!1!<\/em> now only to have to pull the plug later and leave folks disappointed, out money, and with their time wasted.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 <strong>What changes can we expect for the brevets?<\/strong> Specifics will be announced when registrations open and expect that they may change from one ride to the next as circumstances necessitate. I can say with certainty that in January there will be no support or SAG of any kind before\/on\/after the ride, you will be required to wear a mask at the start\/finish and while inside any building, and brevet cards will be replaced with another method of validating your passage through controls.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 As for the <strong>Cracker Swamp<\/strong>, we&#8217;re certainly hoping that we can have it. It&#8217;s 11.5 months away, which is like 3 eons in Covid Time. What is certain at this point is that registration will <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">NOT<\/span> open in February as I&#8217;d hoped. I think it&#8217;ll be impossible to say what the ride can look like &#8212; or, as is most germane to an organizer, cost &#8212; in November as soon as February. So if you&#8217;re interested in the ride, save the dates but stay flexible otherwise. And don&#8217;t sweat it: everyone who wants to ride the Cracker Swamp will be able to.<\/p>\n<p>6.\u00a0 Stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>Paul<br \/>\nRBA, Central Florida<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Y&#8217;all&#8211; You can probably tell from our silence that we remain in the midst of a global pandemic.
