What is the BC Randonneurs Cycling Club? The mandate of BC Randonneurs is to organize rides in accordance to the rules of randonneur cycling as practiced by Audax Club Parisien in France. BC Randonneurs is a current member, and was a founding member in 1983, of Randonneur Mondiaux, an umbrella group for randonneur clubs and organizations worldwide. Randonneur Cycling, sometimes referred to as marathon cycling, can be defined as fast long-distance cycling. It is explained more fully elsewhere on this site in the section called An Introduction to Randonneur Cycling. Randonneur Cycling in British Columbia began in 1979 and for many years operated as a sector of the Bicycle Association of British Columbia (now called cycling BC). In March 1996 BC Randonneurs became an autonomous entity, and is now defined as a 'society' under the Societys Act of British Columbia (Incorporation number: S-35024). Our club constitution (revised Oct 2006) is available as a PDF. There is a process for introducing a club award: HERE. There is a policy statement defining a BC randonneur brevet or flèche HERE. Additional historical info HERE. The club presidency changes yearly. Traditionally the president has been succeeded by the Vice President. All other positions on the Randonneur Committee are reconsidered yearly, though the same person may hold a post for multiple years. Organizational meetings are held about ten times a year, and there is an Annual General Meeting in September. The minutes for any meeting are available to any member - just contact the secretary.
