The New England Randonneurs VT 6 Gap 200k Brevet takes place on July 18, 2026, in Bethel, Vermont. This challenging endurance cycling event is designed for experienced riders seeking a significant test of their skills and stamina. Participants must hold an active RUSA (Randonneurs USA) membership to participate; this requirement cannot be waived at the start line. New members should ensure they have completed both the initial temporary number assignment process, which may take up to three days, and the permanent number application before registering for the event. Payment by check extends processing time. While NER (New England Randonneurs) membership is separate from RUSA requirements and optional, we strongly recommend it as a way to stay informed about future events and benefits. Full details on the start location, timing, lighting regulations, and other essential information can be found on the New England Randonneurs Inc. website. The event route traverses public roads open to all traffic without dedicated support services along the way. Riders must have alternative transportation arrangements should they need to end their ride early due to fatigue or mechanical issues. Motorists will not be informed about this randonneur event, and cyclists are solely responsible for their own safety throughout the journey. NER season pass holders can participate in this brevet without additional fees. However, if your name does not appear on the list of registered participants for the NER season pass, you must pay the full entry fee to join. This event promises an exhilarating experience through Vermont's diverse landscapes and challenging terrain. Register early to secure a spot and ensure all necessary preparations are in place before July 18, 2026.
