Details via Driftless Randonneurs website:
"This is the second event in our 2025 Rouleur Series. As before, we’ll start the Sunday ride a little earlier so you can finish in time for an early drive home.

We’ll be doing a Dart Populaire Team Event for this ride. This is a ride with a minimum of 120 Km that must be completed in 8 hours. Briefly, the rules are as follows:

Teams consisting of minimum of 3 and no more than 5 riders.
Minimum distance of 120 Km.
A minimum of 25 Km must be ridden in the last 2 hours. This must be verified by a timed and dated receipt.
Three team members must finish together in order to receive credit for the ride.
Any team members not finishing with the rest of the team will not receive credit for the ride.
The complete rules can be found here.

Note that the Dart Populaire counts as a team event for a RUSA cup!

Here’s the plan for the day:

Assuming there will be a lot of solo riders who are interested in doing this ride, we’ll form teams on the day of the ride. The main ground rule is: everybody rides! So don’t worry if you don’t have a team – come anyway! We’ll form or reform teams as necessary to make sure that everybody rides!
Although for longer events e.g., a flèche, it’s customary for riders to form their own teams and develop their own route for this event we’re assuming that most people will be unattached and won’t want to do their own route design. Accordingly, we’ve developed three routes that meet the rules criteria."

NOTE: See website for RWGPS routes to get an idea.
