I don't think that's true, Mimi.
I'm pretty sure that on brevets (at least brevets put on by Randonneurs USA, aka RUSA, the governing body for brevets in the US), the participant is allowed to have support from others - including people who are not on that ride - but only at the official checkpoints.
I know for a fact that this is OK on a RUSA permanent -- I'm a RUSA permanent owner so I'd better know!
-- and I'm almost positive that's the case for RUSA brevets as well.
I'll go double check the rules on the RUSA website though ...
