Randonneuring is a sport that originated in France in the 1800s. Unlike racing, riders ride in coorperation against a clock with time limits for each standard distance: 200k, 300k, 400k, 600k, 1000k and so on. Camaraderie and perseverence are highly prized. A ride in randonneuring is called a brevet which is a French word meaning "certification".
