This form calculates the opening and closing times for RUSA-sanctioned brevets and populaires. The principal differences between this calculator and the ACP brevet time calculator are:

  • this calculator handles populaires (100-199 km)
  • this calculator allows events of non-standard lengths (e.g., 555km, 800km)

STEP 1: Indicate the event distance, starting date, and starting time.

Standard populaire distances are 100km, 150km, and 161km (100 miles).
Standard brevet distances are 200km, 300km, 400km, 600km, and 1000km.
For non-standard distances, be sure to use the "theoretical" or "advertised" distance (as it appears on the event calendar) rather than the actual distance. For example, if your 800km brevet is actually 805km, enter 800 rather than 805.

Event distance: km

Starting Time (24 Hour Format, HH:MM):

STEP 2: Choose units and output style.

Input distances are in: miles km
Display output distances in: miles km both
Display output dates as: MM/DD DD/MM

STEP 3: Enter the actual distance to each checkpoint. The location field is optional; if entered, it will appear in the table generated.

Notes:
  • Times are shown in a 24-hour format; for example, 2:00 AM is shown as 02:00 and 5:45 PM is shown as 17:45.
  • It is assumed that all checkpoints are located within the same time zone.
  • By convention, only 200km and 400km brevets have their maximum times adjusted (i.e., 200km - 13h30m and 400km - 27h00m). Calculations for all other distances are based strictly on the ACP formulas. Theoretically, this results in a 404km brevet being allowed less time than a 400km one; however, in practical terms, this is not an issue.
  • The output is displayed as simple text for easy cutting and pasting.
