The Randonneurs Croatia season will open with a brevet that will start and finish in Zadar. The race will take place on Saturday, April 1, 2017.

Randonnepuring is known as a long-distance cycling sport with its origins in audax cycling. A randonnepuring event is called a brevet. 

This brevet event will kick off the cycling season in Zadar in front of the hotel Porto at 7am. After riding for 216 kilometers, you will find yourselves in the same place - at hotel Porto.

This year's edition of the 4 bridge race is a little different than in previous years because the direction of travel has been reversed. 

After the start in front of the hotel Porto you will embark on a gently warming coastal road that leads along the coast to the bridge in Tisno that connects the island of Murter with the mainland. This is also the first control point where you can take pictures and type in the time of your arrival in your brevet card.

After taking a turn to the pass through Tribunj and Vodice, you will cross over the bridge of Šibenik and a few kilometers later, you will turn to Šibenik and to the other checkpoints located in Iljadica-Rapo bike center. 

You will leave Šibenik on the road to Skradin and come upon the first short climb. There is an immediate descend after Skradin. At the third checkpoint, which is the Skradinski bridge, you can again take photos and record the time of arrival in your card. 

From Skradin you will continue towards Benkovac which will lead you to a winding road that climbs gently up to Bribirska Glavica. The town itself is less populated but no less beautiful and interesting than the rest of the route. You will then pass through Benkovac and come to the lower Zemunik, where you will turn to the right and bypass Zadar on the road to Nin. After Nin you will have a fourth control point at Virski bridge - the last stop to take pictures and write the time on your arrival card. From Virski bridge you will move back through Privlaka, after which you will take the bicycle path all the way to Zadar. Hotel Porto will await everyone with dinner and socializing.
