Randonneuring Defined

Randonneuring: Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring.

The next PBP is in 2011.

Anyone planning to go to any of the Edwardsville brevets this month?

I plan on volunteering with some of the brevets this season.  Good luck randonneurs!

I rode the Fox Valley Permanent yesterday, solo. It's on the RUSA site now if anyone wants to give it a go sometime. Look in the "permanents" section. Best weather would be a SW wind to have a tailwind for the last 60 miles, rather than a headwind as was the case yesterday.

I hope to be there :)

Is anyone doing a brevet this weekend out of Delavan?
Comment by Matt M. on June 25, 2010 at 10:36pm
Has anybody ever considered biking the whole 300K from Chicago to Madison via Milwaukee all in one shot? It's 10 miles shy of a double century.
Comment by Bill Watts on June 10, 2010 at 6:19am
The route for the 600K is not yet posted, and I wonder if it will consist of the exiting 400K plus the 200K. Does anyone know?
Comment by Dave Jordan on May 8, 2010 at 8:14pm
Hey Amber! I would describe the 200k course as consistently rolling, except for the last 20 miles or so that are pretty flat. Most of the hills are not too steep or high. It is a beautiful, low traffic route. I'm looking forward to the 300k!
