Upcoming Rides

Our friend and customer Mike Beganyi has teamed up with the New England Randonneurs to bring self supported long distance riding to Vermont.  OSH will be the start and finish location for a series of 'brevets' - self supported, social, long distance rides. We'll have the shop open at the start for a bathroom break, topping off the water bottle, and maybe some fresh coffee. We're looking forward to riding most of these events - so come on out and join us for Vermont's first RUSA and ACP certified brevets! For specific course information and to register check out Mike's website: 100k Cafe CruiseChamplain 200k/300k Fall Classic 200k These are timed self supported events that are run over a set course. Rides run from the 'populaire' at 100k and go up from there - brevets start at 200k and move to 600k and randonees head to 1200k and beyond. Riders can pace themselves, ride in small groups, and can start and stop along the course whenever and wherever they like. Passage is proven by having a control card signed along the route - typically at local cafes or convenience stores. Our VT routes take in some of the best riding in the Champlain Valley - plenty of dirt roads, a Local Motion bike ferry ride, and stops at some of our favorite local haunts. Most fit cyclists can tackle the shorter distances with consistent endurance riding.More information on RUSA and randonneuring. http://www.rusa.org/Our partners at the New England Randonneurs. http://www.bostonbrevets.com/
