Rouleur series in the Phoenix sun

[Mike Sturgill]

Hello randos!

Mark your calendars. Make your reservations early. Bring your sunscreen.

Feb 11-16, 2026: Arizona Randonneurs will be hosting a week of cycling that I think you'll want to attend. February in Phoenix has some of the best weather in the country. Put your studded bike tires away and come join us for some cycling fun, and a BBQ. You'll get a cool patch in a single week, and a special item only available in AZ! We'll be hosting an entire Rouleur Series with routes of 100k, 125k, 150k, 200k and a Dart Pop. We will also have a bonus day of riding on President's Day for those who cultivate their tan lines a bit more before heading home. 

I've put together a page which describes the events, what's on tap, lodging, getting here, and lot more. Check it out and see if this sounds like something you'd like to attend. 

Won't you come join us? Details here: www.azrandos.com

Let me know if you have any questions.

Great to see so much interest in the Roleur Series!  On the Left Coast, SIR, SFR, PCH and SLO Randos have hosted (or will host) all the rides needed to earn the Roleur award. I just might go to AZ next. --Kitty
