Claimed my first Brevet 5000 award this week, completed across 3 years (you have up to 4).
The AUK Brevet 5000 requires a randonnée of 1200 km or more, SR, 1000 km, 24 hour team Arrow, plus other events to a total of 5000 km, all BR or BRM, all ridden within a 4 year period.

The next one in my sights is Brevet 25000 which I think I can do over the next two years, unless I have a massive season next year (unlikely).
I remember a time I said i wasn't bothered about the awards, but its quite addictive once you get started!
The 25000 was on my list but I've just not managed to fit in 1000k with racing and that team fleche thing is bollocks.
that team fleche thing is bollocks.
Riding with a bunch of mates and getting hammered at 8:00am the next morning in the Pub, what's not to like?
