Audax rides

The 'Brevet Series'
These awards encourage the rider to keep riding over several years.

Brevet 500. Ride 5 x 100km rides in one AUK season to gain your Brevet 500. 150s can be counted as well - but not 200s.

Brevet 1000. Ride 5 more over subsequent seasons, totalling 10 in all over any time period, and you will have gained a Brevet 1000.
Another way to gain the Brevet 1000 is to ride 5 x 200km in one season. But you can't mix the two, it has to be 10 x 100 or 5 x 200, and you can't use 300s as substitutes.

Brevet 2000. Carry on collecting 100s or 200s over as long a period as you like, and eventually you will have your Brevet 2000. That's 10 x 200km or 20 x 100km. Remember, you can't mix them, and you can't substitute longer rides.

Brevet 3000. If you have ridden any mixture of 100, 150 and 200km over a long period (and it will be a long period!), totalling 3000km, then you have your Brevet 3000.

Brevet 4000. This is for riders who can show they have ridden 20 x 200km over any length of time.

Brevet 5000. This is a major challenge which is achieved only by very experienced randonneurs. In a four-year period, ride an End-to-End OR a Paris-Brest-Paris, a 200, 300, 400, 600 and 1000, a 24 hour team event, plus other rides to top up to 5000km.

Brevet 25000. Only a handful of randonneurs have ever achieved this. In a six-year period, a Paris-Brest-Paris OR London-Edinburgh-London, another ride over 1200km, a 1000km, a 24 hour team ride, three Super-Randonneur series, and other rides to top up to 25000km! Phew!
