The BBTA Cycling Achievement Awards allow members to gain recognition for their cycling achievements in a noncompetitive yet official way. Awards are obtained by completing a specified number of BBTA Achievement Rides over specified distances in a single calendar year.
BBTA Achievement Rides are graded in terms of distance only. There is no requirement that the rides be of a certain degree of difficulty or that they be completed in a limited time, other than that each must be completed in a single day.
A rider may be awarded only one Achievement Certificate in any one year, but the award of a Certificate at a particular level does not preclude the award of a Certificate at the same level to the same rider in a subsequent year.
An Imperial Century Medallion may be awarded in addition to an Achievement Certificate. The award of a Medallion does not preclude the award of a Medallion to the same rider in a subsequent year.
· Obtain and manage a brevet form (available at BBTA meetings, and link at bottom of this page).
· For each ride selected as a BBTA Achievement Ride:
1. Take the brevet form to the ride;
2. Inform the ride leader before the ride starts that the rider intends to record the ride as a (personal) BBTA Achievement Ride;
3. Ensure that the following information is recorded on the brevet form (a) the date, (b) the name of the BBTA Achievement Ride, and (c) the signature of the leader of that ride (or of another suitable person if the rider is the leader), certifying that the rider has completed the distance specified.
· Submit the completed brevet form (showing the combination of BBTA Achievement Rides for which an award is sought) to the Rides Coordinator before the close of business on the last day of November in the year of the award.
