Don't they look like they're having fun? This could be you!











Welcome to the 2026 Randonneuring season in the Driftless! The entire schedule is now live and you can (and should!) register for all events on the calendar.
A few highlights to note:
-
-
- We’re once again offering a full Rouleur series. We’ll start it a little earlier this year (April) and hope for good weather. Should that not be the case I’ll likely schedule a makeup sometime later in the year.
- This is a “pre-PBP” year. Although it’s not been announced yet (to my knowledge) what the registration policy will be, what this has meant in the past is registration for PBP 2027 will be available based on the longest ride done in 2026 so e.g., 1000k/1200k completions will get first shot at registration, 600k next, etc. It has been the case for the last two outings that you didn’t even need to have done a brevet in the previous year to gain entry but it should be noted that you’ll likely not get your first choice of start time.
- If you are interested in hosting a brevet, either using one of the existing routes or creating a new one, get in touch! I can add a small number of ACP sanctioned brevets and unlimited RUSA brevets. This needs to be done several weeks in advance so don’t dawdle!
-
And of course we’re offering a full ACP brevet series with some new routes as well as reprising some favorites.
Hope to see you on the road!
