...... i had to look brevet up myself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevet_(cycling) *Brevet*, or *randonnée*, is an organised long-distance bicycle<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle> ride in the sport of randonneuring <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randonneuring>. Cyclists <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclists> - who, in this discipline, may be referred to as *randonneurs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randonneur> * - follow a designated but unmarked route (usually 200km to 1400km), passing through check-point controls, and must complete the course within specified time limits. These limits, while challenging, still allow the ride to be completed at a comfortable pace - there is no requirement to cycle at racing speeds or employ road bicycle racing<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_bicycle_racing> strategies.
