A brevet is a long distance, self supported ride. A brevet series typically involves rides of 200k, 300k, 400k and 600k - and sometimes 1200k. "Brevet training" is simply training for brevets.

My goals are many, so I anticipate having to scale back a bit as time goes on!!
1) Complete a century a month for 2007 (don't ask me why...DH and I are nuts )
2) Complete the Blood, Sweat and Gears century in June
3) Improve my speed and bike handling skills (I know I need to define these goals better eventually)
4) investigate racing opportunities in my area
5) sign up and complete Assault on Mt Marion (so that I can qualify for Mitchell)
6) commute at least 1 day a week (hopefully more) ALL YEAR this year
7) plan and excute one short self-supported tour next summer with DH (local)
I'd also like to plan on doing 6-Gap and Bridge to Bridge, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself!
