I just received my copy of the February 2006 American Randonneur in the mail. I also received the January – February issue of the Bluegrass Cycling Clubs (BCC) newsletter. The BCC is sponsoring the Kentucky 2006 and 2007 Brevet Series this year beginning with a challenging 200k on April 1 and ending with the 600k on June 24th.
Here are the links for both the American Randonneur and the BCC. As of posting time the BCC links have not been updated with the current information.

Even though Kentucky has had a relatively mild winter and I have gotten more riding time in than most winters I do not feel ready or fit for the 200k Brevet on April 1. I have not ridden a Brevet since April of 2004. It was my first and I always look back on that ride as the decision point that would define my focus on endurance cycling. One of my goals is to ride a complete brevet series. I don’t know if that will be this year or next in preparation for the 2007 PBP. Completing a full brevet series includes the 200, 300, 400 and 600 k events. Each ride must be completed in that order and will qualify you for a 1200 k such as the Paris-Brest-Paris (PBP) within the same calendar year.
