You are the spirit of the event.
The goal of the Eastern MO Rando is to be on a fully self supported, solo effort. No teams, no drafting, no supply cache, no support car.
The map is canon.
The course is fixed, the checkpoints are mandatory. You will only be counted as a finisher if you cover every bit of course correctly, and stop at each control point within the time frame. If you must detour off course, you must rejoin at the same place you left.
You are on your own ride.
You are responsible for your own maintenance, nutrition, and safety. You must be aware of and follow all safe riding principals. All commercially available resources are open to all riders.

Welcome to the Eastern MO Rando. Randonneuring has a long history of getting folks out on bikes and riding longer distances. This is not a road race, everyone that finishes within the allotted time will be a finisher. You can choose to ride 100 km with 1,000 m elevation or 200 km and 1,900 m gained on a fixed route. Each route does have small sections of light gravel: 4 Km on the 100 and 11 Km on the 200, but this event is designed for a road bike.

Each route will include a brevet card that lists the mandatory control points. Each control point you must stop, get your brevet card signed, and time written. These points are also the best opportunities to refuel for the next leg of the journey. Each control point will have a cut off time. You must stop at each one in time, and make it back to the finish.

Ope Bikes is generously sponsoring the Rando for riders from marginalized communities. If you are interested in this opportunity, please email [email protected].

The waterproof ride wallet will feature US Made Silver Bullet EPX200 fabric and Eastern MO Rando woven logo patch.
