It's back!  The original Million Meters in Fond du Lac.  This is a really awesome ride originally the brainchild of Joel Sandburg many years ago.  We will have an official start at the Comfort Inn where we have a hotel block reserved from Thursday, July 4-Monday, July 9.  The timelimit has the ride ending at 7:00 am on Monday (75 hours).  Many will finish before that but the block includes Sunday night for this reason.

You may ride all three of the days of this ride or a subset of them.  Contact us for specifics on this option.

Reserving a room is the responsibility of the rider (this gives you more flexibility as well).  The block currently has 10 double rooms ($129 per night) and 10 king rooms ($139 per night).  There is covered, secure parking for bicycles.  Call the hotel at 920-921-4000 to reserve your room, tell them you want the Great Lakes Randonneurs room block.  The block will expire on June 4, 2024.  You can also work with the hotel if you want to get there earlier and/or stay later.  They are being very accommodating of our needs as a ride and are excited to have us.  This is by far the best and easiest place to stay, but if you choose not to stay there, please let us know so that we have at least some idea of where people are.  Be aware that Fond du Lac has limited 24 hour resources.

In the past, we have provided food for both breakfast and dinner for all the days of the ride.  That may or may not be possible depending on the number of volunteers we have.  If you (or your friends/neighbors/family/etc) are interested in volunteering for one or more days of this event, send an email to rba@greatlakesrando.org.  There is also a signup sheet is here.   In any case, weather permitting, we will have a small welcome party on the patio (inside if rain) Thursday from 4:00 pm - 7 pm which will also be the ride briefing. We will also have a party at the finish, let's hope it isn't raining.

Signing up now reserves your spot on this ride.  This is a fun, challenging ride on some really beautiful roads.  We hope to see you there.

Please note, this fleche does not satisfy criteria for anything outside of Great Lakes Randonneurs as we maintain no affilation with RUSA.
