Rubicon Riders Dragon Boat Racing Team (MDBRC) is based in Montreal on the famous Olympic Basin located in Parc Jean-Drapeau. The RR was founded in 2011 as a competitive U23 team, the first and only of its kind in Quebec. The boat is composed with a mixture of paddlers from Raging Beast (16), Autoboat Beast(3), Kamikaze(1), Boat Rockers (2) and Montreal Mix(2).

On May 25, 2011, the Rubicon Riders raced for the first time as a team in H2O Open, Montreal. On July 3, the crew clinched 3rd place (18-23 category) in DBC National Competition, Welland, Ontario and has officially qualified for the IDBF Hong Kong Club Crew Championship 2012.

History

Founded in April 2011 with the merge of different paddlers aged from 18 to 23.

The name Rubicon Riders originated from the idiom "Crossing the Rubicon" which means to pass a point of no return. During the Roman republic, the river Rubicon marked the boundary between the Roman province of Cisalpine Gaul to the north and Italy to the south. Governors of Roman provinces were appointed promagistrates with imperium (roughly, "right to command") in their province(s).

Exercising imperium when forbidden by the law was a capital offence, punishable by death. If a general entered Italy whilst exercising command of an army, both the general and his soldiers became outlaws and were automatically condemned to death.

In 49 BC, supposedly on January 10 of the Roman calendar, C. Julius Caesar led one legion, the Legio XIII Gemina, south over the Rubicon from Cisalpine Gaul to Italy. In doing so, he (deliberately) broke the law on imperium. Caesar uttered the famous phrase Alea iacta est ("the die has been cast").

The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has survived to refer to any individual or group committing itself irrevocably to a risky or revolutionary course of action, similar to the modern phrase "passing the point of no return".[1]
