Actually, Ashley, a randonneuse is also a participant in an interesting branch of the cycling sport. Bicycling randonneurs (fem. randonneuses) participate in long distance timed but non-racing events of generally at least 200 km up to 1200 km. The most famous event is Paris-Brest-Paris in France, once a professional race, but now the ultimate amateur randonneur event. Some members of this list have participated on P-B-P. The world randonneur organization is based in Paris, but there are national organizations in the US, Canada, UK, and many other nations. You may wish to explore this additional opportunity to be a "randonneuse".
