Ever wonder how some cyclists stay motivated throughout the riding year?  Riding with
	BREVET de	friends certainly helps, but so does setting a personal goal.  BREVET de RANDONNEUR
		represents CCC's ultimate award in recognition of the commitment and determination it takes
	RANDONNEUR	to achieve a personal best.  It's an award that cannot be bought.  It can be earned only by
		you through riding and providing service to the club.  There are three different levels of
	A WORTHY GOAL	achievement.  Don't worry about how many levels you think you can or cannot achieve.
		What is important is that you set your sights on a riding/service goal and achieve it!  Here
		is what you need to do to join CCC/s elite achievers and be formally recognized by your
		peers at the annual dinner meeting.
