| | 1000 km |
 | | The 1000 is not a part of the basic Super Randonneur (200, 300, 400, 600 km) series, and is never as grand as the marquee 1200s (PBP, BMB, Rocky Mt. 1200, GRR...) Most 1000s in BC are ridden alone or in small groups with no fanfare, and often with limited or no support. |
 | | Despite the seriousness of the physical challenge, the logistical complexities, and the total absence of glory, BC riders have been curiously attracted to the 1000 km, and this has been true from beginnings of the club in 1979. |
 | | The 1000 km has been unique in another way here in BC - traditionally there has been some flexibility for riders to choose their own routes and riding dates. |
