We've added a feature to the website to highlight our advertisers in American Randonneur magazine. The Support our Advertisers page takes you to a page with images, ads, and links to these advertisers. It's added visibility for them, and an added way for members to access these offerings.
You may also find this link under the Members dropdown.
Thinking about how to contribute to RUSA outside of your local club or region? As RUSA creates or enhances programs, we're always on the lookout for folks to help. So we've added a Volunteering Opportunities or "Help Wanted" page. You can also find that option on the "Members" dropdown in the menu bar.
Have a look and see if there's an activity that suits your skills and interests!

As part of our work on the PBP page, rando historian extraordinaire Bill Bryant has updated his Short History of Paris Brest Paris. Bill has extended it from where it left off in 2003 to the present day. Plenty to tell! So, the Short History is now a bit longer, and well worth it. Thank you, Bill! PBP'23 pre-qualification starts next year - not too early to start reading about it! |

Get 'em while they're hot ! Voler will be discontinuing their "Produce on Demand" service in July. That means that our 4 jerseys - the RUSA "national" jersey, two different K-Hound jerseys, and the PBP '19 jersey will not be available, nor will the shorts. We don't know what we'll setup as an alternate arrangement but there may very well be a period of time during which there's no RUSA jersey available. If you've ever thought about buying one of these jerseys or the shorts, now's the time !
You can view the items at the link below, and order them directly, to be shipped to you by Voler:
