SUMMARY:The Ozark Randonneur
DESCRIPTION:The Ozark Randonneur 120: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42350611 \nThe Ozark Randonneur 200: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42254901 \nRandonneuring is 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 cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie\, not competition\, is the hallmark of randonneuring. \n\n“…in a nutshell: Cycling with like-minded friends\, on beautiful roads\, while challenging yourself to ride better than you ever imagined. How you define “better” is up to you. Better can mean faster\, more miles\, more fun\, more… or a combination of the above.” – Jan Heine of Rene Herse\n\nDrafting is allowed. Teamwork is allowed.

SUMMARY:The Ozark Randonneur
DESCRIPTION:The Ozark Randonneur 120: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42350611 \nThe Ozark Randonneur 200: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/42254901 \nRandonneuring is 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 cycling in France and Italy. Friendly camaraderie\, not competition\, is the hallmark of randonneuring. \n\n“…in a nutshell: Cycling with like-minded friends\, on beautiful roads\, while challenging yourself to ride better than you ever imagined.
