Why Randonneuring? | Randonneurs USA 

This sport is super awarding and addictive. You'll find yourself riding distances that once seemed difficult to drive. You'll discover discomfort at any level can be overcome. 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.

Great to get out in the rain & cold. It’s so good. Everything else is a major plus.

Why it's mirrored?

Well done! I have personally experienced all the points raised here. It is an enlightening, rewarding and enriching sport.

This is so good! I’m coming Up on my one year rando-versary, and I’ve been sharing this with friends to get them excited to join me as well. Thank you so much for making it!

She does a great job at selling it! Well done to all involved in the production of this video.

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!

"Randon neuring"... that's a familiar name🤨🤔

As a newer randonneur, I find this whole series SO COMPELLING. Watching them makes me want to ride even further. Thanks for all your hard work and for making this hobby accessible, and inclusive.

Amazing summary of the whole randonneuring idea. I randonneur for the past 12 years and still counting.

Was it in the contract to flip the video for all her close-ups. This takes Cycology to another level.

More of this, great job.

I like that you show that you’re having fun even in rainy dreary weather. We will tray the planet better by knowing it on all weather. Thanks for the video.

Nice intro to randonneuring,

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.

Loved this video very chilled vibe , now wanna ride lol

Can you make your content inclusive by formatting the auto captioning into closed captioning please? it is extremely hard to watch it relying only on the auto captioning sadly (I'm Profoundly Deaf)

Ride On

Whats she riding?

It should be normal, cars ruin landscapes.

Does it make it cooler to call it "randonnneuring", or could you have just as much enjoyment if you called it "bicycle touring"?

this is very cool. Why is the video reversed though?

Is her drivetrain on the non-drive side?

LOVED the video. Your bike is too small for you. Just saying.

Would be a more inspiring video, if they didn’t show people riding in the rain all the time…

Former randonneur here. This is not very inviting. Bad weather, really OLD riders, slow and shaky riding. Napping out in the old bank lobby…. Its just a little cheesey

This is different than cycle touring how?
