Brevets

  • Brevet is a French word for which we have no direct translation for its cycling usage. In general, it means a "patent", "certificate", or "diploma". For the randonneur or randonneuse, the randonnée (a long ramble in the countryside) they have entered is often called a "brevet". This is typically a challenging 200, 300, 400, 600, 1000 or 1200 kilometer ride, each with a specific time limit. A randonneur carries a brevet card which is signed and stamped at each checkpoint along the way to prove they have covered the distance successfully. To pronounce the word correctly: "brevet" rhymes with "say" or "Chevrolet", not "get" or "let".

      Finish off the year on a good ride with friends.
      The 50k or 100k routes (same as 2005) are both on relatively low traffic road. For the most part out on the county roads of Rowan, Iredell, and Davie.

    • 2 rides leaving from Sloan Park. The park gate opens at 9am.

    • A 50k marked loop ride started a 11am. There is only one store on the 50k loop and it may be closed. Any one who would like the cue sheet for this loop, please let me know.

    • Also a longer ride of 100K started at the same time and followed the same route which split off after reaching Iredel county and continued on towards Mocksville and returned thru Woodleaf. There are a couple stores after 30 some miles which may be open.

Please stop by again to see new events that are listed.
