RGV Randos - 109K Populaire

Type
Road
Level
Novice
Rides suitable for cyclists who are new to the sport (or who have not been on a bike for some years), family-friendly rides or any riders that feel a need for some mentoring. Note: please note that minors under the age of 16 cannot participate in rides unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Families with children should, in any event, confirm with the ride leader ahead of time that the ride will be suitable for their needs.

Intermediate
Targeted towards riders who have a few years in the saddle, who have developed some riding confidence and fitness and feel ready to move to the next level. Could attract more experienced riders who are looking for a relaxed or less aggressive ride.

Advanced
Limited to experienced riders with superior bike handling skills and who are comfortable with a fast pace (probably including single and/or double pace-line riding) and/or hilly terrain, and the possibility of heavily trafficked roads. Advanced rides are less likely to be "no-drop" unless identified as such.

Description
Come to the RGV of South Texas to ride a RUSA Randonneur with RGV Randos of South Texas. On August 20th we will have a 109K Rando Populaire that starts and ends in Harlingen, TX. Registration is free and all the info you need about Randoneurring is on the RGVRandos website. In general, it's self supported endurnace cycling that was started in France in 1890. Not a race but there are generous time limits to completing the various distances. We have events from 100K (62 miles) to over 300K (188 miles) in the RGV. More events later this year and typically start on a Saturday morning.

We don't have hills but we have wind!

A Rando is a great way to train for distance events. Do you have what it takes?
