2010 Ride Calendar

You may also be interested in results from past rides or stories and photos from members.

We have held our AGM and so any ride below with a "real" name (instead of just a distance, like "200km") is official. New for 2010, the Calgary region is offering "mentored" rides, and these are noted below. Mentored rides will have an experienced Alberta Randonneur member staying with the slowest riders and offering advice to all. These are a great opportunity for new Randonneurs to check out the sport!
