Embrace Ultra-Distance Cycling with Randonneuring
For cyclists seeking endurance challenges, the Davis Bike Club has a rich history in randonneuring, also known as audax cycling. With decades of experience, DBC has been at the forefront of this sport’s growth in the United States. Notably, Davis Bike Club was the largest randonneuring club sending riders to Paris-Brest-Paris in the early 1990s, significantly contributing to the national randonneuring scene.
If you’re interested in pushing your limits and exploring ultra-distance cycling, our Randonneuring section provides extensive details on upcoming brevets and events. Join our bike club and become part of a community passionate about long-distance riding and adventure.
