Endurance Cycling & Brevet Events in Bengaluru
Experience the rhythm of the open road where endurance meets community. From the misty heights of the Western Ghats to the camaraderie at every checkpoint, explore our signature events and discover what it means to ride with us.
Our Chikkamagaluru 600K is the grand finale of India's Toughest Super Randonneur Series. This ride takes you into the heart of the Western Ghats, summiting both Baba Budangiri and Mullayanagiri, Karnataka's highest peak, in a single, unforgettable journey.
There are moments in randonneuring that words can't capture. Here, a rider disappears into the clouds on the misty ascent to Bababudangiri during our Parvatha 600K. This is the magic of the Western Ghats, a true test of spirit against nature.
Our rides are more than just cycling; they are an immersion into local culture. This unforgettable moment from the Lepakshi 400K shows our riders joining a vibrant Ganesha Visarjan celebration, sharing in the joy and energy of the local community.
We celebrate every milestone, and this one is monumental. A huge congratulations to our very own Swamy on completing his 100th Brevet during the Jog Falls 1000K. His passion and dedication have inspired our community for over a decade.
This is the dream we sell: conquering the Ghats and chasing waterfalls. Our Jog 1200 LRM is an epic multi-day adventure through the lush Western Ghats, culminating in a view of the mighty Jog Falls at the peak of its monsoon glory.
The spirit of Indian randonneuring on a global stage. Our riders, full of energy and pride, chant "BR ki jai!" at the start line of the iconic London-Edinburgh-London (LEL) 1500km event. This is the camaraderie that fuels us.
To celebrate a decade of endurance and friendship, we created this special 10th Anniversary Jersey. It's more than just gear; it's a badge of honor, representing ten glorious years of shared challenges, adventures, and the unbreakable spirit of our community.
The energy at the start line is electric. Here, 125 riders get ready to roll out for the Rajyotsava 200K BRM. This is where every journey begins, filled with anticipation, excitement, and the promise of a great day on the saddle.
We invite you to ride our vintage trail, the Anchetty 200K. This signature brevet is known for its challenging climbs and serene, traffic-free roads that wind through the raw beauty of the forest. It's a journey for those who seek solitude and adventure.
Support and rest are crucial in ultra-endurance. At the 456km mark of the Coorg 1000K, riders found a sanctuary at Nesting Grounds Homestay. We ensure our routes include havens like this for riders to rest, refuel, and share stories.
About Featured
Randonneuring here isn't just about the kilometers you log. It’s about the support we build along the way, whether that is a hot bowl of kharabath at a 3 AM checkpoint or a quiet spot to rest in the coffee estates of Coorg. We manage the logistics, navigation files, and official ACP certifications, so you can focus entirely on the rhythm of your pedal stroke.
Our Approach to Endurance
We don't race against each other. Our events are Audax-certified Brevets (BRM) designed to test personal grit and endurance. Whether you are aiming for your first 200km or training for a 1200km LRM, the focus remains on self-reliance, strategy, and community support.
The Terrain
Our routes are handpicked to showcase the diversity of Karnataka. You will encounter the rolling, traffic-free forest roads of Anchetty, the steep, demanding inclines of the Western Ghats near Mullayanagiri, and the scenic beauty of the Jog Falls region. Expect headwinds, wild weather, and elevation gains that will challenge your limits.
What to Expect at Events
- Pre-Ride Support: We provide GPX files and cue sheets for navigation. At start lines like FKCCI, expect last-minute safety checks before we roll out.
- Control Points: We man checkpoints every 50-80km. You will find water, electrolytes, and local high-carb staples like bananas, chikki, or hot breakfast items.
- The SR Series: We host the India’s Toughest SR Series, helping you qualify for the Super Randonneur title. We document your rides for official Audax Club Parisien homologation.
- Sleep Infrastructure: For 600km+ events, we arrange dorm-style sleep stations at designated mid-ride markers, ensuring you have a safe place for a power nap.
Join the Community
This is a place to find your limits and push past them with a group that cheers for every finisher. From our 10th-anniversary celebrations to the daily hustle in our rider groups, you will find a family that values endurance above all else. BR ki jai!
