Randonneuring in New England
Join NER in Vermont for a classic challenge on July 18th: the 6 gaps. The course was ridden in late May 2026 — the registration page is here. This is NER’s most challenging ride of the year in terms of average elevation gain. Ride leader Chip Coldwell is looking for volunteers to staff the finish control from 2PM onward while he is on course checking out riders. Please reach out to him via board@ner.bike if interested and able.
Registration is up for all of these Portland-bound rides — the Portland 400k (and 200k) option, and the 600k with its new 2x200k option.
Please note: due to (we think) World Cup room blocks, we’re using different hotels than usual, but still starting in Woburn. Please see the individual ride pages for details.
Also, we could use some 400k volunteers, either at the turnaround/200k end in Portland, or at the finish in Woburn. Please ping Sarah (sbergstrom at gmail dot com) if you can help.
We have a 300k & 200k (mostly separate routes) on May 9th. Registration closes @ 3pm on Friday, May 8th. We’ve used both of these before but not for a few years. I (ride lead Jake) really like both these routes. They are challenging but interesting and fun. Routes are mostly small back roads but you do cut through Amherst and a few other small towns.
Note: The “password” on the registration link refers to 2024 but it is still valid. It’s a way of verifying that riders are current RUSA members, a requirement of our rides.
