What is the Southern Utah Brevet Club about?
We are an organization dedicated to promoting randonneuring by offering long distance cycling events in Utah. Randonneuring is basically unsupported long-distance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive, where determination and self-sufficiency often rule the day. Completion of the event, on course and within the specified time limits is the goal. The Randonneur sets aside competition in favor of comraderie at these events. Riders will face many trials during an event including; weather, darkness, mechanicals and long lonely roads. Navigating the route and meeting the time requirements add additional challenges. Thanks for your interest in our current schedule of events. Please check back frequently for updates on these events and other information on this site. If you have any feedback we would love to hear it. Just use leave a comment on any part of the site that you want to and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!
