Randolph the Rat, his bike, and Brevet Card
Wikipedia offers the following summary:
Randonneuring (also known as Audax in the UK, Australia and Brazil) is a long-distance cycling sport with its origins in audax cycling. In randonneuring, riders attempt courses of 200 km or more, passing through pre-determined "controls" (checkpoints) every few tens of kilometers. Riders aim to complete the course within specified time limits, and receive equal recognition regardless of their finishing order. Riders may travel in groups or alone as they wish, and are expected to be self-sufficient between controls. A randonneuring event is called a randonnée or brevet, and a rider who has completed a 200 km event is called a randonneur.

You will be please to know that he does not expect you to ride a multi cache of 200km, with way points every few 10km.
All you need to do is solve this puzzle, and ride a short distance to GZ.
The first recorded audax cycling event took place on June AB, 1CD7, when twelve Italian cyclists attempted the challenge of cycling from Rome to Naples, a distance of BEF kilometres, during daylight hours.
Other 1200 km and longer brevets:
AFFA Miglia 1GH0k (Italy)
Maraton Rowerowy Dookola Polski JAJF km (Poland)
Perth-Albany-Perth ABKK km (Australia) (Randolph will only do this one if he can do the Australian Bushrangers series of caches on the way!)
Time limits:
Randonneuring events must be undertaken within set time limits. There is some regional variation in these, but the following list is typical:
L00 kilometres – M0 hours
1,200 kilometres – N0 hours (or P0 or P4 hours by choice)
The cache can be found at:
JL BG.DEC AML JH.KNP
Happy riding!
(Keep an eye out for Randolph, he will be around)
Don't forget the clue for Randolph's final.
Randolph has produced 10 tokens that go with his caches for any cachers who find the matching caches.
When you find the caches, PM me your address, and Randolph will post the ones you have earned out to you.
This is the only way you can get one of Randolph's tokens.
The caches that presently have tokens are: 01 Treeclimber, 02 Vampire Hunter, 04 Pirate's Treasure, 05 Shred the Trails, 09 Thirsty work, 10 Rat Hoppet, 11 Ready Aim Fire, 13 Hang Glider, 14 Winton Racer, and 15 The Final.
