Bangalore Randonneurs

About

We’re all about endurance cycling, not chasing podiums. Each ride with us is a test of grit, patience, and how much you’re willing to pedal through – whether you get soaked in monsoon or roasted by the sun.

How Our Rides Work

• Every brevet is a self-supported cycling event. No backup cars, no fancy frills. You manage your own pace, food, and navigation.
• You’ll find yourself pedaling through the Western Ghats cycling routes, sleepy villages, misty hills, and some brutal climbs.
• Rides start at 200km (Nandi, Temple Run) for newbies, ramping up to 1200km monsters like Bekal for those after a true ultra-distance cycling challenge.

Signature Climbs & Epic Journeys

• Nandi, Horsley, Kolli, Yercaud – if you love hills, you’ll get your fill.
• Parvatha 600K and Bekal 1200K pack thousands of meters of climbing. Get ready to groan on the uphills and cheer at the top!

The Community Vibe

• You ride solo, but you’re never alone. Our checkpoints are stocked with bananas, snacks, and proper South Indian khana – paddu, kharabath, kesaribath.
• The real prize? Sharing food, stories, and the pain with folks who get it.

Bragging Rights

• Finishers grab medals, but complete the classic series (200, 300, 400, 600km) in a year and you earn the Super Randonneur title. That’s what riders talk about for years.
• Some events have special medals – collect ’em if you can.

Why We Do It

We’re here for the suffering, the sunrise views, and the post-ride chai. Doesn’t matter if you’re seasoned or new. If you’re up for a challenge, welcome to the ride. BR ki Jai!
