RANDONEE:

The aim of the ride is to complete the planned course, following a supplied route sheet.The distance varies from 50km to 600km. It is normal to have a starting and finishing time, but this is not a race. Usually riders will ride in groups, but some people ride alone.

In some events there are stops on route for check points, often these are in a Cafe or Pub, so refreshments are available.

If you would like to join us in a Randonee event, you can find details of events on the AUDAX UK or CTC web sites.Alternertively contact us on the email address and we will advise.

Every year Southend Wheelers organises a Cyclosportive ride, this takes place in February (see events page for date). The distance is 50 miles (80km), the start and finish is at East Hanningfield Village hall. Riders are started in groups classified by pace/ability or age.
