Brm 200 Du Souvenir 14-18 - Orchies 2026

BRM 200 du Souvenir 14-18 is a 200 km road cycling brevet starting in Orchies, northern France. Riders register at the Cyclo Club Orchies on Rue Albert Poutrain in the early morning and must finish by 9:30 PM. The entry fee is modest: adults with a cycling license pay less, and riders under 18 are free, licensed or not. The route includes 1,400 meters of climbing, making it a long day on the bike, not a flat ride. The event is part of the Brevets series and is locally termed a randonnée cyclotouriste, indicating steady endurance riding rather than a race. Cyclo Club Orchies organizes it, and the name “Souvenir 14-18” implies a connection to First World War remembrance. A sandwich and drink are provided at the finish or control point, reflecting its practical, club-organized nature.
