The French word “randonnée” is not exactly translatable into English. The closest is probably “hike”, which is not commonly used in bicycle contexts. A randonnée is an organized group ride, with some emphasis on speed, but it is not a race. Riders will typically be on road-racing or light-touring bicycles. Randonnées

are often quite long, but do not normally involve stopping for the night away

run all night.

One of the most famous (and most rigorous) is the quadrennial Paris-Brest-Paris ride, 1200 kilometers, (750 miles) stopping only for meals and catnaps. Soon as I got the course map off Matthew Lucas from Velosophy, there was only one place I wanted to go - the first dirt section. At 6.30am, having driven to the second gate, I knew this was the spot.

I took about 600 images along that section of dirt. Many of these photos are part of a sequence. For me - black and white is the only way to go. There might be a big enlargement here somewhere. If you see something you like, let me know - bigguy@sweatandgears.com 4
