A brevet is a long distance recreational ride that is timed. Brevets are offered in progressively longer distances in order to prepare you for the challenges of the longest events such as the Paris Brest Paris Randonneur (PBP). A brevet tests your endurance and provides a unique opportunity for self discovery.
Depending on the distance, our events will travel northward though Marin, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The routes will vary from flat to hilly and will include segments of short frequent hills (rollers) as well as include several long hill climbs. Events in the past included the challenges of very strong head winds (gusts to 40 mph), rain, dense ground fog. You can read past events participants' reports by clicking on the linked names on the Brevet Results pages.
San Francisco Randonneurs' brevets are minimally supported events on unmarked roads to keep costs low.
These events are not for beginners. The courses are hilly and can be windy. There will be night time riding in the longer events. You should have completed several century or double century cycling events in the six months before starting a brevet.

Hello Riders,
The information document and cue sheet for the Feb. 6th Two Rock Valley Ford 200km will go out to all registered riders by Monday night. If you sent in a registration and you did not get the info packet in email, check the 'Who is Riding' chart to see if you are listed and then send me . If you are planning to register for this brevet and you live in the Bay Area please don't send anything by mail after Tuesday (sooner if you are out of state). Instead, please send me email at . In your email, please include your mailing address, phone number and RUSA number so that I can have a card waiting for you at the ride start. Look for a reply by email from me. Then, please bring a signed waiver and registration form with payment to the ride start. Thanks.

Hello potential riders for the Lighthouse 200km,
By the time you read this we are probably at or very near the limit on our permit from the National Park Service. The Lighthouse 200km is the only ride for which there is a rider limit. If you want to ride this brevet, please send me email first (). Alas, there will be no day of signups. Please don't assume you can ride the brevet unless you have contacted me and I have responded that I can register you.
We may need to implement a wait list. There are often riders that need to cancel late in the week, and I'll try to coordinate with anyone on the wait list with enough time to be ready for the ride. If you are a registered rider for this event and you know you can't make it, please let me know as soon as you can so we can get anyone from the wait list all set up.
Thanks,
rob hawks

Hello 2010 SFR riders,
We are approaching the 100 rider total for the 1-23-10 brevet. NPS has given verbal approval to exceed the 100 rider limit but has not given a hard upper limit yet. SFR is changing the limit to 125 for now, but it is quite possible that we can go higher if circumstances require. NPS has allowed SFR to exceed the 100 rider policy due to our record of multiple events with no issues, and the fact that our event does not begin within the park which results in our riders being spread out while in the park. In addition to the special no-two-abreast rule within National Parks, the 10 rider group limit was raised, the latter within the context of our ride unlikely to be running into trouble on that count.
If you or someone you know has hesitated to send in registration forms because you think it is too late, don't worry now, but also don't delay too long. I wouldn't be surprised if in the end we do run up against a hard limit for NPS.
