Is the Brevet an organized group one, or just one you were going to do on your own? Though it's best not to ride it, if it is a group organized one, maybe you can volunteer to be at one of the controls for signing the cards? If it was one on your own, that's something you can do at any time. Best to take everyone's advice and let yourself heal.

One of my friends tore her hamstring a week ago, doing power lunges. No bike riding until next spring now. She was planning to ride the 100k Populaire yesterday, ( www.orrandonneurs.org ) but worked the table at the first checkpoint, signing cards. Said that's what she would be doing at the next few rides.

Take care and heal well!
