Do it yourself Randonneuring

DIY events allow riders to plan and schedule their events and still have them validated by Kiwi Randonneurs. They are an excellent option for riders whose other commitments make attending a calendar ride difficult or where a local permanent or calendared event is not close to where they live.

One of the key differences with a DIY route is that it can be a point-to-point making it a great option to incorporate into a tour or other non-Kiwi Randonneurs event.
