As someone who has never done a Brevet before I would like to know some more general information.
What tools I should bring?
Do people generally need spare spokes?
How many spare tubes should I have?
What type of equipment is allowed? ( Fenders, bike racks, panniers, tri launchers, aero bars ect. )
Is there any route information available / what is the groups website?
I'm really happy that I saw this post, I was about to start asking if there was a long distance events in central FL.
Thanks for the post,

I take a multi-tool, a little pair of pliers with wire cutter, some zip-ties and electrician's tape and duct tape, some extra chain quick-links, and an extra M-5 bolt, and M-6 bolt, and cleat bolt. Either one or two Fiberfix spokes (two if the ride is 600km or longer). Two inner tubes + patches + tire boots. Sometimes I carry a spare tire.
The various websites referred to in this thread have lots of useful info. Join RUSA and they'll send their Handbook, which is also very good.
