What the heck is a Randonneur?

In General

In general terms, the French word randonneur is what in English we'd call an ambler or a rambler.


In Cycling

In cycling terms, a randonneur is a long distance cyclist who participates in non-competitive, organized cycling events called brevets. Brevets are typically 200k, 300k, 400k or 600k in length with specified time limits. The grandpapa of all is the Paris Brest Paris event which is 1200k in 90 hours. It is held every four years; next up is this August 21 - 25.


In France

Randonneuring began in France when the limits of cycling as a practical form of transportation were being explored and the bicycle was perhaps the central form of transportation for work and leisure for the masses.


As for me...

See my first post (May 31, 2009) for more on why I began this blog, and my personal randonneuring objectives.

How does one say randonneur?

As a French speaker would.

As an English speaker would.

Could YOU be a Randonneur?

Of course you could. A great place to start is the Randonneurs USA website. I remember seeing it for the first time and saying to myself: I've got to give that a try.

And so I did...and so can you.
