New York–New Jersey Brevet Series 2007

Randonneur cycling is different from usual club rides. You ride long distances at a measured pace. You ride independently, neither too quickly nor too slowly along a prescribed route, without getting lost, tired or demoralized.

To ride the famous Paris Brest Paris 1200k (800 mile) brevet, in France, you need to complete a series of brevets of 200k (125 miles), 300k (187 miles), 400k (252 miles) and 600k (373 miles) before June 17, 2007. The New York-New Jersey Randonneur Brevet Series offers the rides to qualify.

Why not be among the first to represent the 5BBC for Paris Brest Paris and be an Ancien?
