last i checked, bag drops and "support" at controls are within the rules . . . in fact, it's the norm, at least on the longer brevets I've done. even on the shorter brevets, people rely on cashiers at convenience stores (these often serve as controls) to buy food, supplies, etc., or have people meet them there with anything that might be needed. the faster riders want to be in and out of controls as quickly as possible - it saves a significant amount of time. and when your racing ... . errr, i mean randonneuring .... those precious minutes count. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
