2025 Flèche Pacifique
BC Randonneurs Annual Team Event
submitted by Colin Fingler

Ride Dates: May 2-4, 2025

Design a route - build a team - join a team - come for brunch!

There is still time to sign up for this unique competitive (sort of), FUN event - team entry deadline is Tuesday 22 April. .

The Flèche is a 24 HOUR, minimum 360 km team event, modelled after the French Flèche Velocio. A successful Flèche ride is a necessary component for the coveted ACP Randonneur 5000 medal. The Trace is a DAYLIGHT-only, minimum 201 km event. No less than four trophies are up for grabs! It all culminates in the participant/guest awards brunch on Sunday morning, May 4.

Check out our Fleche page on the Club website for all sorts of info on the event rules, registration, history, and trophy criteria.

Gary Baker is back as this year's organizer. He invites you to our event HQ and brunch venue - the Coast Chilliwack Hotel in downtown Chilliwack. The ‘Coast’ is situated on a lagoon, only 2 short blocks from the city’s historic Five Corners Centre, old style shops (one of the best used book stores in Canada) and the new themed District 1881 with its boutique, pubs, brew houses, coffee shops and fine dining restaurants.

Non-rider guests are welcome and encouraged to attend the Sunday brunch, for a fee of $40. Just send an email with the details to treasurer@randonneurs.bc.ca and an e-transfer to payments@randonneurs.bc.ca (please include a note in the comment field).

Questions? Looking to join a team or pickup another rider or two for your team? Need some route ideas or ‘local knowledge’ insights? Accommodation options? Contact Gary and/or Colin and we will help you.

See you in Chilliwack!
