These rides are informal (noncompetitive) group rides open to all who are interested in the challenge of long distance cycling (Randonneuring). For some, these events are like touring with miles and miles of scenic riding, often at a leisurely pace. Some use these rides to prepare for organized tours such as TOSRV and Pedal to the Point while others use it to prepare for brevets and ultra-marathon events such as Calvin's 12 Hour Challenge and the National 24 Hour Challenge. For others, it's a quest for higher speeds and faster times. Many riders set their sights on personal bests, often working together in pacelines with other similar-minded riders.
Cue sheets will be provided for the routes. This is not a supported tour
but in the past we have had support vehicles (SAGs) on many of the rides.
In any case, each rider must be prepared for mechanical mishaps, changes in
weather, and so on.
All rides start in Berea at 9:00 am
