We are thrilled to bring randonneuring events to the greater Detroit area.
Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling.
This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount.
When participating in randonneuring events, riders 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.
