About this Event
'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.
Riders will tour the Kirkstall Brewery pubs, starting out at the Kirkstall Brewery, and riding out to their newest pub - The Crown Inn. The ride then heads back to the Brewery via The Black Horse in Otley, up and over the famous Otley Chevin and back to Kirkstall.

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.
