After the great success of the inaugural Kiwi Brevet organised by legendary kiwi cyclists, promoters and advocates the Kennet Brothers, a smaller, shorter event will take place on the Banks Peninsula late 2010 – Le Petit Brevet.
Le Petit Brevet will run under the same philosophy of the Kiwi Brevet in that the event is entirely self supported along a set route with a challenging time-limit. The route is not finalised yet but it will be strenuous:
-300 km of mainly back-roads and some single track
-36 hour time limit (Saturday 8am start, Sunday 8pm finish)
-5’800 m of vertical climbing (and descending)
