In this episode of the Bikepack Adventures Podcast, I chat with Fred Chagnon about a cycling specific sport that is fairly new to me: randonneuring. Fred got started in Randonneuring during the pandemic 4 years ago and is now wholly invested and wants to promote the growth of the sport, for a variety of reasons which we will discuss today. In many ways Randonneuring isn't so different from bikepacking, and in today's discussion, Fred and I share our insights into our respective worlds. Not surprisingly, the two sports have a lot in common and can actually work together quite well as a means of training.
