What are the Super Randonneur brevets, what are the deadlines to be respected according to the distances. From 200 to 600 km, what are the ways to participate in these brevets, who organizes them?
The Super Randonneur's brevets are organized all over the world and are certified by the Audax Club Parisien (ACP). They allow for qualification to the Paris-Brest-Paris event, which takes place at the end of August every four years.
These Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux represent a total distance of 1,500 km. Successfully completing all of these brevets allows for the request of the Super Randonneur distinction from the ACP.
Distances range from 200 to 600 km with a time limit for each distance:
200 km: 13h30
300 km: 20h
400 km: 27h
600 km: 40h
These brevets allow for obtaining the Randonneur 5,000 distinction afterward.
While the 1,000 km brevet with a time limit of 75 hours exists, it is not part of the Super Randonneur distinction, but rather the Randonneur 5,000 distinction. Beyond this, and for a few years now, there has been the distinction of Randonneur 10,000.
Created by the Audax-Club Parisien, the Randonneur 5000 distinction rewards riders who have covered a minimum of 5,000 km of ACP rides between two editions of PBP
Above 100 km, cycling training is necessary; above 200 km, more than just the cyclist needs to be prepared. For a 300 km BRM, one must be able to handle everything, including liquid and solid replenishment
