Preamble
      The 19th. Bordeaux - Paris Randonneurs (B.P.R.) is organised by the TOURISTES & CYCLOSPORTIVES DE GUYENNE.
       BORDEAUX - PARIS is open to all sporting cyclists, whether they are members of a club or as individuals.
      Each participant, whether they have a preference for cyclo-touring, randonnées or cyclo-sport, has the opportunity to participate in a prestigious event, that is above all not a race, the goal being the same for all : completion of the event and a souvenir trophy of the B.P.R.

Presentation

1 500 to 2 000 entrants

      The event which takes place every two years has become more internationalised with riders from America, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, Spain, etc….
      The originality of the event lies with its three distinct formulas (cyclo- tourists, randonneurs and cyclosportives). Each individual can choose depending on their physical condition, motivation or disposition.
      The maximum times for each category are:
       - Cyclo-tourist - 60 h.
       - Randonneur - 36 h.
       - Cyclo-sportive - 28 h.
