Information About PCH Randos

Pacific Coast Highway Randonneurs is based in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Bordered by the Pacific and the mountains of Southern California, we have some of the most scenic riding in the world at our front wheels.

Members from the Los Angeles Wheelmen and the Channel Islands Bicycle Club have volunteered to form the PCH Randonneurs. We encourage you to become members of either of these clubs. In becoming members of either club, you will also be eligible to ride the brevets at a $5.00 discount.

Randonneuring is non-competitive, long distance cycling. Camaraderie, not competition is the hallmark of randonneuring. Emphasis is placed upon being self-supported, however, support is available at various controls along the routes, and for most brevets we do have a sweep vehicle.

If you are looking for a little more of a challenge than your local century or double century ride and enjoy the company of others who are more interested in seeing you finish than dropping you on the next climb, then please join us.

A Super Randonneur series consists of four brevets:

200 Kilometer (125 Miles) with a time limit of 13.5 hours

300 Kilometer (185 Miles) with a time limit of 20.0 hours

400 Kilometer (250 Miles) with a time limit of 27.0 hours

600 Kilometer (375 Miles) with a time limit of 40.0 hours

Only Super Randonneurs are allowed to attempt the ultimate Randonneuring challenge – the 1,200 kilometer (750 mile) randonnée which must be completed in 90 hours.

In 2008 there are four such randonnées in North America:

Rocky Mountain 1,200	Shenandoah 1,200
Last Chance 1,200	Cascades 1,200
