Not sure if anyone remembers but I gave a presentation on Randonneuring back in August 2011 just before I undertook the PBP in France. Some members expressed an interest in this side of cycling but felt the distance of travelling to New Jersey a bit too far.
Well, I have some good news for those looking for a bigger challenge. We have set up a Long Island Randonneuring group and are holding two events this year. This will prove to Randonneurs USA that we are competent enough to organize events and submit the paperwork, etc., etc.. The dates of the two events are Sunday, April 28th 2013 for the Ronkonkoma 200k and Saturday, June 22nd 2013 for the Bethpage 300k. Start times are 8am and 4am respectively.
Further details can be found on our website: www.lirando.com/calendar.aspx I will also be at the February meeting if anyone has any further questions.
