SOLSTICE 600
It’s almost time! Our biggest ride of the year starts on Saturday, July 9, 6:00 a.m., at the Gakona Lodge. 600km around interior Alaska, from Gakona to Delta Junction to Tok and back to Gakona. Low traffic, almost limitless daylight, navigation that could not be simpler, and scenery that cannot be matched anywhere in the world. There are 400k and 200k options as well. Cue Sheets can be found HERE.
Our membership payment link has been down for some time, but you can now once again pay for your 2022 membership. Join and pay Here!
The sun is shining, the roads are clearing and it is almost time for our first ride. Come join us in Talkeetna for either a 100k Populaire or 200k Brevet.
To ride with us you must be a member of both RUSA and Denali Randonneurs. Just like last year, your membership entitles you to join us on all of our rides this year. (Except there may be an additional fee for the 600k in Gakona.) Every member gets an awesome Denali Randonneurs water bottle and reflective bike sticker.
There are some changes afoot as well. RUSA now allows electronic proof of passage instead of the traditional brevet cards. Check in for ride starts and finishes will be electronic, via QR code system. A QR code will be printed and posted at the start and finish–simply take a picture with your camera phone and follow a few prompts and you will done. For intermediate checkpoints we will accept virtually any self-explanatory evidence that you have completed the ride: GPS tracks, Strava link, selfies taken at controls, etc. You can also go traditional and submit a brevet card with signatures and receipts.
We have a full season of spectacular riding ahead of us. Registration for all of the rides will be open soon on this website.
You must register for each ride by midnight on the Wednesday before the ride.
We did not host a Rando Info session this year, so please feel free to ask any questions here, or by email, or through the website.
Denali Randonneurs is gearing up for another season of brevets and populaires in the Last Frontier. Membership for 2022 will be $45, the same price as last year. This price entitles you to ride as many or as few of our events as you wish, except there may be some additional charge for the 400k and 600k Gakona rides. We will have new water bottles and stickers for members this year as well.
We are hoping to make some changes this year to create a smoother experience for our riders, incorporating electronic proof of passage and electronic start/finish check in.
Details for each ride will be posted soon.
