Georgia Randonneuring

Georgia Branch of Randonneurs USA

The Georgia brevet series is a collection of bicycle rides run under the guidance of Randonneurs USA (RUSA). They are long distance rides done on challenging courses to test oneself against the clock and weather. These brevets are run with a defined time allotment but are non-competitive in nature. Camaradarie and self-sufficiency are generally more respected than being the first finisher.

The word brevet is French for "certificate" or "medal." Pronounced "bra-vay," they are generally ridden in progressive distances of 200k, 300k, 400k, and 600k. If a rider completes the entire series, they may qualify to ride one of the longer 1200k brevets like the Cascade 1200 or Paris-Brest-Paris.

For 2008, there will be a few early season brevets starting in Augusta followed by the Atlanta series that most of us are familiar with. The Augusta rides will be run by Kevin Kaiser, and are relatively flat and are a good warm-up for the Atlanta series. The Atlanta rides are hosted by Andy Akard, and are typically more challenging. This website provides information about both the Atlanta and Augusta brevets.
