New England Randonneurs

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.

Hello NERds! Season Pass, Membership, and registration for the first few events of 2026 are up.

We also have a last-minute spring addition to the calendar: on Sunday, March 29th, there will be a 100k out of Ferris Wheels Bike Shop in Jamaica Plain (Boston). See the event page for more details.

The Season Pass gets you $50 off all 2026 NER events, making all events 400k and shorter completely free. NER Membership is completely optional and gets you voting rights in any NER official votes as well as showing your support for randonneuring in New England. It is NOT required for riding events with us. RUSA membership, available through RUSA at https://rusa.org IS REQUIRED for all events; please join/renew in advance.
