Les Randonneurs Mondiaux (LRM)
The international organization for long-distance randonneur cycling
About LRM
Les Randonneurs Mondiaux (LRM) is an international association of cycling organizations dedicated to the sport of randonneur cycling. Created in Paris on August 26, 1983, the day after the 10th Paris-Brest-Paris, by the Audax Club Parisien and representatives from eight countries.
LRM's objective is to promote, encourage and applaud cyclists who wish to test their personal limits by combining the demands of a long distance ride with the pleasure of cycle touring.
LRM sanctions and validates events of 1200 km and above (except Paris-Brest-Paris which is organized directly by ACP).
