Event Description

The fifth installment of this CERVO ROSSO GROUP RIDE with a twist!

Required:
1. A sense of adventure,
2. GPS cyclo-computer or Strava-enabled smartphone,
3. Vertically minded thinking

All roads lead to Clarendon on March 23 for the fifth Red Deer Brevet - where you score points according to the route you take to get there.

The aim is to arrive at the Clarendon Bakery at 11 am for a well earned brunch. However, how you choose to get there is entirely up to you. You can start whenever you want, and get there however you want. Once you get there, you will be awarded points according to the formula.......

Climbing metres divided by km's travelled divided by elapsed time. (800m divided by 60km in 2 hours 30 minutes would give you 5.3 points as opposed to 1200m in 85km over 2 hours would give you 7.1 points and hence a higher points score)

Points will then be tallied and a random loading applied to qualified riders to find the winner (who may not be first past the post)

Ride conditions:
1. Must travel at least 75km
2. Must start your ride within the Adelaide Parklands - see parklands map here
3. Must arrive as close to 11 am as possible as penalties may apply if you are early or late
4. Cannot double back on any roads

Previous winners have been:
Brevet #1 - AVO, (jersey carried over to #2)
Brevet #2 - Liam Sloan
Brevet #3 - Con Nakos
Brevet #4 - Alastair Dowler

It is entirely up to you how seriously you wish to take up the points challenge. Let your route planning begin!

Anyone is free to come along and join us, however you need to wear at least a CR jersey to be eligible for the prizes (to be announced)

Note: No deer will be harmed during the staging of this event!

Comment by Thomas Mansfield on March 31, 2013 at 17:06: Greaty idea for an event, I enjoyed it very much. Next one should finish at lofty summit.

Comment by Rob (Chewbacca) on March 24, 2013 at 19:48: 100 metres closer to the required distance than the previous brevet....700 metres short of the required distance.....rode where ever I felt like with no plan in mind....Chewbacca s free ride with vertical climb....

Comment by Richard Stevens on March 24, 2013 at 19:39: yep well done Jeff....anyone who starts off a Brevet Challenge doing Coachouse/Woodlands deserves to win! :) You weren't alone in the suffering stakes today either mate. ;) Well done everyone else who made it to the Bakery. It was a fun challenge in what at times were some ordinary conditions. Bike and jersey filthy!!

Comment by Jeff Morris on March 24, 2013 at 19:06: Thanks Guys, I'm stoked, first thing I've ever won. Can't wait for the next ride now, although yesterday absolutely kicked my ass
