Randonneuring is a Community

Audax India Randonneurs prides itself on being a community. A non-profit, volunteer driven activity, from top down, Randonneuring runs on the commitment of organisers to create these opportunities for riders. They are themselves randonneurs, with a passion for cycling, who build their local communities and foster interaction between different people across India.

The events, also known as Brevets de Randonneurs Mondiaux (BRMs) give riders in India an opportunity to be a part of a large international community. Within India itself, a strong community has grown, bonding with each other through this unifying activity. Numerous riders travel across the country to ride BRMs in the company of fellow Randonneurs. This year, with 49 cities to choose from, the calendar of AIR events has a wide range of terrain and climate to offer.

The staggering growth in the popularity of this activity can be attributed to many factors, including the possibility for people to transform themselves, by pushing their personal limits slowly through the brevet distances. It increased from 50 Brevets in 6 cities in Nov 2011 to over 500 Brevets in 49 cities across the country in 2018. In only its second year Randonneurs in India had clocked almost 200,000 Km of Brevet riding, putting us 14th in the world in terms of Brevet Mileage. Audax India Randonneurs has since been inching up each year to be 11th overall out of 52 countries in terms of mileage ridden in 2015-16! One can see the steady growth from 2010 with 30,100 km to 7,72,700 km in 2015! And 19,95,500 homologated Km in 2017.
