The following is a brief description from the Ramble Rides Event promoter:
So what exactly is a Ramble?
Well, not your average bike event, that’s for sure. A Ramble is a multi-day event, with supported ride stops and catered camps. Each ride takes you through unique landscapes along challenging routes. The overall mileage varies for each ride but no less than 200 miles split as evenly as possible over 4 days of riding. We keep the routes to as much dirt as possible and cover county gravel roads, forest roads, and even some double track when we can. And the views are always amazing.
For the ride, you carry basic gear each day. Because we’re taking you through some spectacular and secluded locations, the goal is to carry what you’d need to be self-sufficient for a 75-80 mile ride with the ability to comfortably wait for support if needed. Call it bike packing light; many return riders put more gear in their camp bag. On the route, you’ll see riders geared up for the full self-supported challenge as well as others in lighter adventure-riding mode.
As challenging as the routes can be, camp life makes up for it. Fully catered, Ramble camps are the place to come together and share the day’s adventure and a few laughs with friends.
The Hub has marked the calendar for the Colorado Ramble, but there are multiple Rambles. Please see the Ramble Rides Event website for more details on the Summer Rambler and for the dates and details of the others this season.
