Why Randonneuring? | Randonneurs USA
Randonneuring is a sport that has been celebrated around the world for over a hundred years, yet today many cyclists may not have heard that there are organized rides for those wanting to test themselves in an all day, or multiple day, adventure. With 54 local groups in 33 states, Randonneuring USA (RUSA) has rides leaving from city centers across the nation. Henrietta helps explain what goes through her head as she prepares for riding a brevet and where her head is while she is in the ride.

Do you know how far you have been able to ride in one day? The beauty of riding with RUSA is that there will always be another event on the calendar that may challenge you. Riding with an organization like RUSA helps to give you motivation to progress to the next ride, as challenging as it may be. Be sure to check out RUSA’s different awards that you can earn while riding different brevets.

Randonneuring is not about being the first to finish the route, it is about finishing. The motivation to keep pedaling is about finding the mental space in order to finish the ride. Getting out on your bike you never know what you may experience.

Riding with other people is what makes a brevet something to look forward to. You never know who you may meet and if that new friend may help give you the snack you need, help rescue you from your flat tire, or help turn your spirits around. Long distance cycling is a mental battle and being on that journey with others is what makes randonneuring so special.

Riding your bike is such an empowering feeling, especially once you begin to see the miles start to stack up. No matter the distance, finding how far you are able to ride your bike may surprise you. Randonneuring gives you a framework for your rides and helps set goals to strive for. Do you have riding goals? Do you know where your body can take you?

Getting on your bike and unplugging from your routine is a way that you can experience the places around you in a new light. All of RUSA’s permanents and brevets have gone through a long review process to make sure they are the best places to ride your bike. Riding your bike may bring awareness to areas that you may have not thought of before; nature that is in between the parks. Riding your bi...

    Thanks for sharing your story ❤ I was into mtb the past few years and randomly signed up for a century ride this year with no long distance riding under my belt ever. I modified my hardtail, and then a few months later, I got a gravel bike. Started riding to covered bridges in my area in march, doing night rides,etc. I learned a lot about myself in this short time,learned from mistakes like bonking, met some great people and I've fallen in love pushing myself when I find the time ( I have 4 daughters ) so I find time to get all day rides in 2-3 times a month. Fast forward from march to today, and I have over a half dozen century rides with 3 of them over the 200k mark. Can't wait to pay dues ,get an official 200k ride in, and join all the lovely people who do this. You all inspire me!

I didn't know what kind of cycling I'd end up doing when I first got into all this in March, but you're correct. This seems to be what I was looking for.

    Hi, I’m also a Randonneurs from BC. I discovered than almost any cyclist can actually do very very long distances. Last year, at 69 y/o I did 403.75 km. Solo, self sufficient and no drafting despite being plagued with OA arthritis so therefore need to choose the event very carefully. This year I’m planning to do a 600 km with 500 km within 24 hrs. X my fingers. Curiously, I don’t chase the crowd but if an occasion shows up I welcome it. Cheers.

      Google ‘randonneuring’. The internet is your friend. Lazy answer: timed events that happen in a series of increasing distance - 100, 200, 300, 400, 600, 1200 kilometers. You have control points, and have to beat a cut off time. Touring is total freedom. :-)

I had to set to highest quality, screenshot at 0:47, left-right flip the image, guess the three letters after "WA", and then luck out because google thought "WAFFS" was similar enough to "WA(shington) made bikes", and one link in the Images results had a similar looking logo and the builder's face was in the link.

      But that's the reality of it you can't be a fair weather cyclist and do rando/AUDAX. And honestly anyone put off because they don't want to ride with cyclists of lower ability, or "really OLD riders" would do well to remind themselves they used to be the former and (if you are lucky) you will eventually become the latter.

You'll see how far you can push your body without lasting harm. You'll find yourself all over the world and meet people from all walks of life. Maybe you'll bring yourself to the infamous PBP and find out that it truly holds up to the hype. This really is the only sport that is designed to take you further than you ever thought you could.
