With the Anchetty 200km Brevet last week end, I completed my super series for the first time and became Super Randonneur.  For those who are new to the terms,  A Super Randonneur title is given for those who complete 200, 300, 400 and 600 km brevets (super series) within one brevet calendar year of november to october and the rider can buy a medal for the completion.
