Randonneurs USA

Long Island Randonneurs is hosting the Tappan Zee 125K on Sunday, September 6th! This 78-mile ride heads north along the Hudson to the Tappan Zee before looping back, with 2,300 ft of climbing along the way. A great way to try randonneuring for the first time, or just enjoy the longest bridge in New York — originally built at one of the widest points on the Hudson River to avoid Port Authority jurisdiction. Starts at Principles GI Coffee House — katie bishop in Brooklyn.

This ride is free — just be a RUSA (RUSA) member and register to ride at lirando.org.

See you there!

BONNE ROUTE: Tour Divide 2026

We wanted to extend best wishes and tailwinds to our members from California currently participating in the Tour Divide that started on June 12th.

Peg Miller ( #6617) who rides with the Santa Cruz Randonneurs region.

Kirsten Walker ( #8154) who rides with the San Francisco Randonneurs region.

The Tour Divide roughly follows the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR), which is the most recognized and important off-pavement cycling route in the United States, if not the world. The route crisscrosses the Continental Divide from north to south starting in Banff, Alberta, Canada and finishing at the US/Mexico border in Antelope Wells, New Mexico.

GO PHIL FOX GO....
5th WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT BEGAN TODAY AT 6:00 AM CST!

We are so excited to share that one of our members, Phil Fox, co-founder of , started his Lake Superior at 6:00 am this morning. Phil has been a member of since 2018 and has completed (2019,2023), the Coulee Challenge 1200k (2018), Glacial 1300 and Golden Falcon 1200k (2024), Humboldt Coast 1200k (2025) and Colorado Fruita Loops 1200k (2026).

Shared from Phil's page: "Phil is taking on the final and most ambitious challenge yet: setting the World Record for the fastest circumnavigation of Lake Superior by bicycle. Over nearly 1,050 miles, he will ride through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ontario, pushing ourselves to the limit in support of the National MS Society and the fight to end multiple sclerosis.

In 2022, he completed the Race Across America, riding more than 3,000 miles from California to Maryland in 11 days, 5 hours, and 33 minutes, earning 5th place overall and Rookie of the Year honors. Since then, Phil and his team has successfully completed four world record rides around Lake Michigan (2021), Lake Erie (2023), Lake Ontario (2024), and Lake Huron (2025).

Now only one lake remains.

Lake Superior is the largest, most remote, and most demanding challenge of them all. Nearly 1,048 miles of rugged shoreline, 38,000 feet of climbing, unpredictable weather, and vast stretches of wilderness stand between us and the finish line."
