About The Randonneur's Journey: Ultra-Endurance Rides
Forget the pressure of racing, because our randonneuring events are about your personal rhythm and mental stamina. When you ride with us, you are not just a number on a leaderboard. We provide on-ground support including hydration stations every 30 to 40km, physical course markings at critical turns, and our famous post-ride South Indian breakfast. Our goal is to ensure that even at 3 AM on a highway, you feel the camaraderie that carries you to the finish line.
Randonneuring is the heart of what we do, but it is a team sport disguised as a solo challenge. Our calendar features everything from the foundational 200km brevets to grueling 1200km LRM events.
Why Ride with Us?
We believe in the 'Nari Shakti' and support every level of rider, from those tackling their first distance milestone to veterans chasing the Super Randonneur badge. Our routes take you through some of the most scenic and challenging terrains in Karnataka, such as the lush Western Ghats and the road to Jog Falls.
What to Expect
- Safety & Support: We provide roaming mechanical assistance and a sweep vehicle to ensure no one is left behind.
- Official Validation: We handle the GPS route files and manual validation of your ride entries, ensuring your Strava achievements count toward global records.
- Celebration: Every finisher gets a commemorative medal and a proper shoutout in our community. We celebrate the 'maiden finishers' just as loudly as the pros.
Preparing for Your First Brevet
You do not need a fancy bike to start. You need a reliable machine, lights, a reflective vest, and the right attitude. If you have questions about pacing, nutrition, or how to handle night riding, ask us. Our members are always happy to share tips on everything from hydration strategies to avoiding sore legs. Whether you are chasing a mileage monster title or just want to see the town, we are with you. Join us, ride hard, and let's keep the spirit alive.
