Great Lakes Randonneurs will be doing a new kit this year at the request of members.  The new kit is Chicago focused.  Store will open up in early March.  Our official opener is May 2 this year so that we have a shot at better weather, but we may sneak some rides in during April if the weather gets nice a little early this year.

Welcome to Randonneuring Ellen Gibbon.  It's great to see another woman in randonneuring.  

There are many opportunities near Chicago, in Wisconsin and the Midwest for Randonneuring.  I haven't really looked at my randonneuring calendar for 2020 yet, but feel free to reach out to me at dmpiech21@gmail.com if you have any questions in the meantime.  I have done a full series.  

Additionally, I am organizing a Randonneurs USA 100K on March 8th with the Driftless Randonneurs in celebration of International Women's Day.  I will post more information on here as details are finalized:  https://driftlessrandos.org/

Just joined the Great Lakes Randonneurs and will be riding the 2020 200K, 300K, 400K and 600K. Would love to connect with anyone who's doing the same.

I pre-rode almost all of the Barrington route this past Saturday and it was really a nice ride! The hills are much milder compared to the Oregon, IL 200K on 5/4/19. 

Mike W and I look forward to meeting you on either of these rides!

Looking for a 200km Brevet a bit closer to home? Great Lakes Randonneurs is holding its Barrington Boomerang 200km on Saturday, 11 May. This is a rolling out-and-back ride from Downtown Barrington to Darien, WI and back.

 For further info see The Chainlink Calendar or visit http://www.greatlakesrando.org/

This is an ACP Brevet and a qualifying event for Paris-Brest-Paris.

Come one...Come all to the Driftless Randonneurs, based out of beautiful Western Wisconsin.  The Driftless Randonneurs has an exceptional 2019 calendar and registration is open for all of the events. Some highlights include: 

• 12 weekends to ride Randonneur USA events in Southwestern Wisconsin in the Driftless region of Wisconsin with plenty of hills to enjoy
• tri-hosting Midwest Brevet Week with Quad City and Minnesota Randonneurs with theme of "Build your own Brevet Week"
• Tour of Driftless 1000K Brevet June 21st
• Randonneurs USA Dart Populaire Team Event in July
• October Galena weekend co-hosted with Quad City Randonneurs

The Regional Brevet Administrator (RBA) for the region is Greg Smith, who lives near Richland Center.  Greg started the region because he felt the area of SW Wisconsin is ideal for cycling with a wide network of paved and lightly traveled roads and he wanted to share some of his favorite rides and routes with others.  Greg has the additional goal of increasing the interest and participation in randonneuring within Wisconsin.

Come out and give randonneuring in southwestern Wisconsin and try and see what Randonneurs USA is all about!

I just got an email from Randeonneurs USA that RUSA Permanents are suspended until insurance can be renewed to cover both Brevets and Permanents.

Hello again Rando Peeps!

 

OK, one last e-mail and share with ya ‘all if you are interested in ordering a cap, neck gaiter (buff), jersey, bib and/or shorts from the Great Lakes Randonneurs. Take a quick look:  https://teamstore.pactimo.com/stores/great_lakes_randonneurs/show

 

Pactimo Great Lakes Randonneurs store closes this SATURDAY, 5/12/18.

 

I hope you would consider adding one or more of these rando swag items to your cycling wardrobe. Come on, just one piece!  The caps have Certified Strong on the underbill, the buff is light and will be perfect for early spring-fall-winter rides!  The cap and buff are ONLY $20 each! 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have met the minimum on all items except the mens continental shorts. Need 2 more pairs to hit minimum of 5!  

 

I have seen statistical evidence that this kit or any item ordered

will raise your FTP by 25% by just putting it on. Honest to goodness truth!

 

Cheers-
