Intro to Randonneuring

Ever wondered what randonneuring is all about? This introductory session offers a perfect opportunity to learn about the long-distance cycling discipline that combines endurance, self-sufficiency, and adventure. Participants will discover what sets randonneuring apart from traditional cycling events, including the unique rules, etiquette, and challenges that make these self-supported rides so rewarding.

The session covers essential topics for anyone curious about tackling their first brevet, from understanding the distance requirements (typically ranging from 200km to 1200km) to learning about mandatory controls, time limits, and the camaraderie that defines the randonneuring community. Whether considering a first 200km ride or simply curious about this growing cycling movement, attendees will gain valuable insights into preparation, equipment, and what to expect on the road.

This informational event is ideal for cyclists comfortable with longer rides who are ready to push their boundaries in a non-competitive, achievement-focused environment. The randonneuring philosophy emphasizes personal accomplishment over racing, making it an appealing challenge for riders of various abilities who enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
