Description

A discussion group for British Columbia Randonneur cycling. The BC Randonneur Cycling Club home page is at www.randonneurs.bc.ca ; the BC Randonneur Cycling Club Newsletter is at http://www.randonneurs.bc.ca/newsletter/recent_submissions.html.

Randonneur cycling is riding a predetermined distance within a set period of time according to the Rules of Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux (BRM) www.lesrm.be promulgated by l'Audax Club Parisien (ACP) in 1921. These rides, also called brevets, are of 200, 300, 400, 600 and 1000 km in length.

The BC Randonneurs Cycling Club organizes rides of less than 200 km, some of which are refered to as "Populaires". These events should not be classified as BRM although they are usually organized under similar rules.

Every four years (the next in 2007), the major event in the Randonneur cycling world, organized by the ACP, is Paris-Brest-Paris, a 1200 km brevet to be ridden in 90 hours or less.

This service exists to help riders and organizers exchange information about randonneur cycling and make arrangements for participating in events.

You're welcome to share your opinions, but keep it civil--discuss the message, not the messenger. Disrespectful behaviour will result in members being asked to leave the mailing list.

By default, replies go to all list members. Please be aware of this, and direct personal responses to the author's e-mail address, not to the entire list.

New members to the mailing list will have their postings moderated; members who show that they are following the list's rules will not have their posts moderated.

Learn and enjoy! Thanks!
