Other Writing

Since starting randonnduring in 2005, I’ve written a variety of ride reports. They’ve appeared in various places, and I’ve tried to track them down and feature them on this page.

Many of these stories, ride reports, and other items of randonneuring interest you can find on The Daily Randonneur, a blog written and curated primarily by my randonneur and real-life spouse Felkerino.
