THE SUCH PIPET
Sept 2 2024:
The race has not started yet but it feels like the final sprint… at least for us two 😎…the good news?
The starterboxes have just been dispatched and should be ready for collection from Wednesday. You will be blown away by the contents, so many useful things and goodies 🤟🏻
One thing in particular, a folded blank page representing Switzerland. What’s it for? An invitation to become a rolling artist and to encourage you to draw something, whether you are good at it or not, and enter the Jubilee contest. It could be your mood, a landscape, your bike, the cow eating your lunch…
At the end, we will be the judges and award a fun prize over brunch to the most original one.
So go out there, sharpen your legs and pencils 🖍️

Want to know how to use your BrevetCards, your pencils and your Pipet? look at this video!
Sept 10 2024:
You may wonder what the heck this two tubes are?? Well, for an handful of CP we will provide the Holy Water. No need to pipet up some water, just a drop of the holy graal and you are good to go.
Spoiler alert, the Jura CP at the “Maison du tourisme” is one of them…can’t wait to see you all on the road to cheer you up!!
Sept 13 2024:
BEWARE! For reasons of force majeure, obviously beyond our control some roads are (temporarily) closed.
Riders, your safety comes first!
That being said, if a CP is still accessible within safety limits, we encourage you to visit it. If not, document the road closure by taking a picture and we will work something out once you safely cross the line in Berne and celebrate this crazy edition with us and your fellow riders.
ULTIMATELY BE SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE…we cannot make decisions for you…
