I’ve a couple of speed targets for the various brevets this year. These were created by the Cyclos Montagnards group as a series of speed awards for those who are motivated by trying to go faster on these longer rides, http://www.cyclosmontagnards.org/R80Rules.html.
The R80 award seems very doable and the R70 as a stretch goal (I have ridden both a 200k and 400k at R70 pace in the past). The main issue is the 600k as I don’t think I can have a sleep break and achieve the necessary times.
The R80 honor requires completion of a brevet series (200, 300, 400 and 600 km) with each brevet completed in 80% or less of the maximum allowed time limit. The R70 and R60 honors are for those who complete the brevets in 70% or 60% of the allowed time, respectively.
R80:
200 km: 10:48 hours
300 km: 16:00 hours
400 km: 21:36 hours
600 km: 32:00 hours
R70:
200 km: 9:27 hours
300 km: 14:00 hours
400 km: 18:54 hours
600 km: 28:00 hours
R60:
200 km: 8:06 hours
300 km: 12:00 hours
400 km: 16:12 hours
600 km: 24:00 hours
