Many will tell you that supporting a ride is every bit as fulfilling and sometimes more challenging than doing the ride itself. It's also a way for friends or family members to participate in randonneuring and get a feel for what it's all about. Most brevets have a pre- ride so that you and the organizer can still do the ride. There will always be an experienced volunteer available to help orient you with what needs to be done. Here's a list of current volunteering opportunities... 10.04.06 2007 Winter Ride Series: Le Paysage à Vélo (countryside by bicycle) schedule is posted. 10.02.06 The Sept. 16-17 600 km Results are (finally) posted. 09.27.06 The Sept. 24th 100 km Mountain Populaire results are posted. 09.26.06 SIR's 2007 brevet calendar is posted. 09.15.06 New Cascade 1200 Ride Reports. 08.09.06 Follow SIR member Pat Rodden on his trek to the Yukon! 07.27.06 PBP 2007 Information in PDF is available...start planning now! James Gutholm taking photos-on-the-fly on the 400 km!		Randonneuring is long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount.
