Welcome to Detroit Randonneurs
It is mandatory for you to be a member of Randonneurs USA (RUSA) to participate in our rides, join here.
We are thrilled to bring randonneuring events to the greater Detroit area.
Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When participating in randonneuring events, riders are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring.
When registering for the first time please register as a guest you will then be assigned a club membership number, all of your registration information will be stored for future use. This site takes a bit of learning to use at first but it offers many advantages to the club members and the Regional Brevet Administrator (RBA).
When finished with your ride please report your start and finish times as well as a link to your ride on Strava, Ride with GPS or what ever you use. You will receive an email with a link to report your times to our site. If you are unable to use electronic reporting please use the the brevet card, cue sheet or anything else to record your times, then send a phot with a email to tdusky@gmail.com.
