Salt Lake Randonneurs is a regional chapter of the national organization Randonneurs USA. RUSA is part of an international cycling group that does long-distance, unsupported (or minimally supported) road bicycling events.

Thanks everybody for riding in the Willard Bay & Beyond brevet yesterday. We had great weather and a great turnout, with 17 riders starting the 200k and 6 starting the 100k. Results are now posted here, and have been submitted to RUSA where the results should be available in a few days. Congratulations to Andrea, who set a new women’s course record of 7:36, beating the old record of 7:49 set in 2012. And thanks to all the fast riders who helped me (Ken) set a new fastest 200k time. Get rested, resume training, and I hope to see you all at the 300k on May 11!

After a lot of route scouting to find a good route thru the West Side Highway construction, the Willard Bay routes have been finalized for our 2024 brevets on April 20. There are a lot of really great new bike paths along the new highway, but this year those are still too patchy to use, so hopefully in the future as more gets completed we can make use of the bike paths. Hopefully, these routes will avoid any active construction areas during our brevet, but as always please exercise good judgement to route around road closures the best you can. Cue sheets will be posted to the mailing list soon ..read more

Back in the spring of 2017 we did a batch of custom jersey’s for our region using Champion Systems. We pretty much only made enough for those that wanted them, with very few extras. We have ran out and now are doing a new batch, using the same design.
At this point, we only have a design for a jersey, jacket or vest.
Even though all-black colored apparel is the vogue now, it is not very visible to motorists. Consequently, I went with a fairly bright, visible color scheme. Safety first.
