Dear DC Randonneur,
Now available: Electronic registration for the ACP brevets, including electronic payment via PayPal.

We think this is relatively easy to use and trouble-free, but … registration pages are still being perfected, so if you run into glitches please let us know. Kudos to Jeff Lesperance for getting this done on such a timely basis — perhaps needless to say, it involved a great deal more work than any of us anticipated.
You can register for individual events, or for an SR series ($10 discount), or the whole ACP series ($15 discount). You can still pay by check if you want to avoid the small epayment fees that PayPal imposes.
As in the past, registration for the SR series requires you to specify which brevets you will ride. This follows the randonneuring tradition of pre-committing to ride events, rather than cherry-picking for nice weather. Plus it allows us to minimize costs and wasted effort by knowing how many will likely ride a given brevet.
Also as in the past, you must pre-register for events a week before. This is to give Bill Beck time to make brevet cards and possibly mail them to the ride organizer. You can still register on site on the day of the event, with a $5 surcharge that reflects the extra costs this imposes, as well as acting as a small disincentive to cherry-picking. (Some clubs do not allow day-of-event registration for this reason…)
I can’t wait for the Series to start! Look forward to seeing you all …
Nick Bull
President, DC Randonneurs
