A brevet is a long distance recreational ride that is timed. Brevets are offered in progressively longer distances in order to prepare you for the challenges of the longest events such as the Paris Brest Paris Randonneur (PBP). A brevet tests your endurance and provides a unique opportunity for self discovery.

The 200k, 300k brevets will start at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge (Google map) Depending on the distance, our events will travel northward though Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The routes will vary from flat to hilly and will include segments of short frequent hills (rollers) as well as include several long hill climbs. Events in the past included the challenges of very strong head winds (gusts to 40 mph), rain, dense ground fog. You can read past events participants' reports by clicking on the linked names on the Brevet Results pages.

San Francisco Randonneurs' brevets are minimally supported events on unmarked roads to keep costs low.

These events are not for beginners.  The courses are hilly and can be windy.  There will be night time riding in the longer events.   You should have completed several century or double century cycling events in the six months before starting a brevet.

Please note, results...

Feb 23 2008 300k registered riders

Happy Valentine's,

As of February 15th 2008, we have 69 riders signed up for the February 23rd, 2008 (now March 1st) 300km brevet. If your name appears in the lists that means I've gotten your brevet application and your payment for that ride. Some riders have ordered medals, and I'll confirm separately with those riders regarding the medals they have requested.

If your name does not appear here and you sent in your application more than a week ago, check with me so we can follow up on tracking down your application.

Carlos and I will work on keeping the listing as up to date as possible.

2008 200k & 300k registered riders

Happy New Year,

As of January 14th 2008 January 18th 2008, we have 76 86 riders signed up for the January 26th, 2008 200km Brevet, and 64 61, riders signed up for the February 23rd, 2008 300km brevet. If your name appears in either or both lists that means I've gotten your brevet application and your payment for that ride. Some riders have ordered medals, and I'll confirm separately with those riders regarding the medals they have requested.

If your name does not appear here and you sent in your application more than a week ago, check with me so we can follow up on tracking down your application. I won't be cashing any of the checks until January 2nd, just so you know.

Carlos and I will work on keeping the listing as up to date as possible, but frankly the bottleneck will likely be me. Doing the paper work is nothing like rocket surgery of course, but to be honest I'm still figuring out the most efficient way to process all this stuff and no surprise, it is time consuming. Be sure and thank Todd for doing all this stuff without help for FOUR YEARS.
