Welcome to San Diego Randonneurs, a
cycling group dedicated to randonneuring, or long-distance unsupported
endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and
self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring
events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning
of the sport of cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie, not
competition, is the hallmark of randonneuring.
