Raleigh RUSA Region Brevet Trivia

Originally posted to the NC-rando-list-serve on Jun-10-2016.

In anticipation of tomorrow's 600, here's some numerical trivia questions to contemplate: 
  • Who has ridden at least one RUSA Raleigh Region Brevet / Brevet-Populaire in the most different years? 
  • Hint: someone has ridden in 16 different years. 
  • Who has ridden the in the second most different years? 
  • Hint:  15 different years. 

  • Who has ridden the most RUSA Raleigh Region Brevet / Brevet-Populaire events? 
  • Hint:  55 events, and it isn't either of the above two answers. 
  • Who are the two people that have ridden the second most different events. 
  • Hint:  46 events, and one is the same as one of the above. 
  •  
  • What is the lowest RUSA member number to have ever completed at least one RUSA Raleigh Region event? 
  • And the name? 
Note:  if the International Randonneurs era (1983 - 1999, and yes, I have it on good authority that IR & RUSA overlapped) rides and years were included, I'd be willing to wager that the person with the most years & most events would be Alan (his first year was 1984), but the IR era information is not readily available.  
Note:  the lowest RUSA member number to have completed at least one Raleigh Region event, IR era or RUSA era, is likely #12, which belongs to Pamela Blalock.  (Pamela has completed a RUSA Highpoint Region event, but never a RUSA Raleigh Region event.  [Edit Aug-27-2017:  However, Pamela began her rando career in the 1980's doing IR Raleigh Region brevets.  Further, she was apparently the IR RBA, or whatever the "title" was then, for 1989, or maybe co-RBA -- I'm taking Pamela's word on that. (I knew this "RBA" information when I originally wrote the above, but forgot to include the information.)])

============================================

There was some back and forth as a few people guessed (or knew) the answers, but I'm currently unable to locate the appropriate emails.
