Randonneurs USA or ''RUSA'' is the Audax Club Parisien-approved brevet coordinating organization for the United States. U.S. Cyclists riding in the Paris–Brest–Paris qualify for the event through RUSA. RUSA also promotes randonneuring within the U.S.. Randonneuring is a style of bicycle riding that requires covering long-distances within a generously allotted time period of almost continuous riding. As randonneurs, riders do not compete against their fellow cyclists, but only against their own personal best, the weather and the mind's desire for sleep. Skills in self-sufficiency, bicycle mechanics, night-riding and endurance are all valued over ability to cycle at racing speeds or with racing strategies. ==History== ''RUSA'' was formed in 1998 by Jennifer Wise, Johnny Bertrand and John Wagner, along with six others. 1 Jennifer Wise Middletown RI 2 Johnny Bertrand Georgetown KY 3 John Wagner Seattle WA 4 Dave Jordan Arlington MA 5 Sherry Reed Columbus OH 6 Charlie Henderson Littleton CO 7 Bill Bryant Santa Cruz CA 8 Lois Springsteen Santa Cruz CA 9 Pierce Gafgen Middletown RI *(Members from the first year (as of October 1998) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Randonneurs USA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
