2026 Season:

• We will be starting the year slow and easy with a Rouleur Series exploring the different areas of the Quad Cities Region.
• In late June we will hold 600 km and 1000 km brevets in the beautiful driftless region which will be excellent training rides for anyone thinking about the Coulee Challenge 1200 km grand brevet later in the summer. Each of these rides will cover Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota to help with your American Explorer Award.
• There will be opportunities to complete up to two ACP Series (200, 300, 400, 600).

Most riders that come to this beautiful sport come from a background of doing the occasional long ride and are perhaps looking for a non-competitive way to ride even longer distances. This is exactly what randonneuring is all about. The challenges are many: the distance, the weather, equipment, time management, nutrition, etc. The longer the distance the most important each of these factors are.

But a big part of the beauty of randonneuring is the camaraderie and shared experience. Randonneurs are generous with advice and help so if you’re new to the sport don’t hesitate to ask other riders for tips!
