MUNTENIA EPIC TOUR Randonneur (METR) is one of the BRM1200+ brevet rides of endurance cycling, organized in Romania by Randonneurs Romania and Adevaratii VeloPrieteni Romania, under the Randonneurs Mondiaux license, during the event RO-1200 Randonneur.
The result will be officially validated if the brevet ride (https://www.strava.com/routes/2756082213942440578), of 1206 km length and of around 7000 m difference in terms of altitude level, will be completed within 90 hours.
The start of the 2021 edition of the RO-1200 Randonneur brevet ride has been planned for the 6th of September 2021 and it will most likely take place in a format adapted to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to the events organized in 2020. In addition to that, each participant will be 100% on his own. Both the departure and the arrival places are in Bucharest. Along the way, however, there will be 15 checkpoints which, in case the ride will be organized under the aforementioned circumstances, can also be considered to be departure and arrival places.
