'The Rando 2024' - by Kirkstall Brewery and Restrap

'The Rando' is a partnership between Kirkstall-based brands that have deep roots in the Leeds cycling community; Kirkstall Brewery and Restrap.

A brevet event with a twist, the Rando ride draws from the spirit of Randonneuring, where the focus isn’t speed, but having a great day out on the bike, meeting new people and taking in spectacular scenery. The £30 entry price will cover a refreshment at each checkpoint pub and your rider packs, which includes a brevet card, along with a can of Rando Beer on completion of the ride.

Riders will tour the Kirkstall Brewery pubs, starting out at the Kirkstall Brewery, and riding out to a selection of their pubs before returning to the Kirkstall Tap Room.

The routes will be published closer to the time.

Restrap and Kirkstall have planned a route that takes in some of the best riding in the Yorkshire area. Touching the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with a route that serves to work up a thirst for riders by offering punchy and challenging climbs throughout, along with stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside.

Riders will receive a can of Rando beer for completing the ride, the signature can exclusive to the event by Kirkstall Brewery.

Beer and a BBQ will be available at the end of the ride by Kirkstall Brewery, allowing riders to rest their legs and refuel after an epic day in the saddle.

Kirkstall Brewery

Kirkstall is steeped in a rich history of brewing, from the local Cistercian monks who began brewing at the abbey in the 12th century to the original Kirkstall Brewery (1833-1982). In 2011, we resurrected the Kirkstall name and got to work brewing a range of cask and keg ales, always with quality and innovation at its core. We are proud to uphold the highest brewing standards. We currently boast several pubs, including our brewery taproom, serving our beers from source since January 2020.
