Earlier this year I set myself some target times to achieve in the spring brevet series. 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.
The R70 honor requires completion of a brevet series (200, 300, 400 and 600 km) with each brevet completed in 70% or less of the maximum allowed time limit.
I managed to hit the targets (my actual times are in brackets, the 400k was from 2010 as I did a more leisurely pre-ride for this year’s brevet).
R70:
200 km: 9:27 hours (08:54)
300 km: 14:00 hours (12:33)
400 km: 18:54 hours (18:36)
600 km: 28:00 hours (24:58)
