LA WHEELMEN’S NEWEST EVENTS: BREVETS

Expand your bicycling range and abilities with the Pacific Coast Highway Randonneurs!

Have you ever considered a bicycling event longer than 100 miles?  Now’s the time to start. These are challenging and scenic rides that you’ll really enjoy!

In 2008, The Los Angeles Wheelmen began sponsoring new Randonneuring events called "Brevets". These are non-competitive, organized endurance events, where cycling skills and self-sufficiency are paramount! The first two were 200 km (126 miles) on January 12, 2008, and 300 km (185 miles) on February 2. Subsequent events will range up to 600 km (385 miles) and can include a lot of climbing.

The sport of randonneuring traces its beginning to sport cycling in France and Italy. The French word randonnée loosely translates to “ramble” or “long journey.” Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark. Riders must complete the designated course within specified time limits, stopping at verifying control points. These are not races.
