Hey NERds. Here is a reminder that we're only a few weeks away from Fleche & Trace to Old Saybrook, CT. This is a new destination with many route options from across New England. These are team events -- riding with an established group is fun and rewarding. Most people find it considerably different and more fun then a Brevet of the same distance. There's only one Fleche per RUSA region per year so ride now or wait until 2026.
Check out the event page for more information:

New for 2025 is an open invitation Fleche and Trace team. These are teams where anyone can join without needing to find other members or design a route. If you've been interested in the Fleche but don't have a team, this is for you. We'll need at least three people for the Fleche team and 2 for the Trace. If we get more then 5 (fleche) and 6 (Trace) we'll split into multiple teams. I've designed (not not ridden) the open invitation team routes so the team can choose to modify if desired.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
