It’s all the ones where you’ve got … in the url.

Replace … with event-details and they work

What a wonderful selection. 

Surely it cant be just under 12 weeks to the ToEL?  Feels like I've just ridden it!

Would it be totally impossible to get dry, above freezing and no wind for TOEL JSB? ;D

Events listing now updated with all links and all events open for entries.

Scottish Borders Randonneurs will be 10 in 2024 so we are looking to do something special to celebrate :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hmmm, tempted by this, it would be (I think!) an achievable thing for me next year.  You have plenty of nice looking rides planned!

Where does the Super Rouleur idea come from?  I can't see anything about it on the audax uk website.
Think it possible that you may be mistaken.

The Super Rouleur is loosly based on a slightly modified version of the AUK Randonneur 1000 but running as a rolling 12 months rather than traditional audax season from when the first ride is ridden and including the 150km as a stepping stone to 200km to allow for newer riders who may do their first ride well into the season,meaning they can finish it off the following year. The Super Rouleur medals are free to those achieving the award.

We thought it gave a higher profile award to those not wanting to go for the full SR and was also more achieivable for local club riders to stretch themselves to a 300km. It's become very popular and quite a few other Randonneur clubs such as Severn Bridge Randonneurs now have a Super Rouleur award too.

Hope you'll give it a go :thumbsup:

Well if there is a badge/medal/sticker involved... ;D

Just a note to let everyone know that all SBR events will offer e-brevet for controlling this year :thumbsup:

Also just to note our season highlight the classic moorland event of The Snow Hare 300km Sat 6th July is filling up fast so if you'd like to ride entering soon would be best. Further info and entry here:
