We're stoked to be working with @ibiscycles for another year, making 2022 five years of being partners. We couldn't ask for better supporters of our efforts than the Ibis team and founder @scotnicol.

The Hakka is the perfect bike for a Ramble Ride and one of the very best do-all gravel bikes on the market. Want to find out for yourself? We have a fleet of Hakka rentals for our ride if you're in the market for a new bike. Rent a Hakka, ride a Ramble, and if you end up buying one within six months, send a pic of you with your new bike and dealer name, and we'll refund your rental fee. That's how much we think you'll like the bike.

We've influenced over 40 Hakka sales since the beginning of our partnership that we know of, which means that riders purchased over 40 bikes through Ibis dealers. It's a circle of support that we're proud to play a part.

Do social influencers matter? Maybe. Possibly. But at the Ramble Ride, we believe the best and lasting influencer is a fantastic experience.

We’re hosting a 4-day Women’s Ramble, June 22-25. This is a gravel experience for new and accomplished riders alike, hosted by our team of ambassadors. Our Women’s Ramble stays at a single camp with group gravel rides each day. Come ride your adventure with us.

The first lunch, for the first-time Rambler is always a treat. We don’t pre-package lunches and make everything for you on the spot, and always with amazing views.

Our favorite lunch? Has to be hot dogs with all the fixings.

What’s the most eaten? Seven. #eatyouradventure

We have a different type of traffic on the Ramble Ride.

"When I was here, I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle."

I often think of this movie quote from Captain Willard from "Apocolypse Now." When I started riding at 16, I had no idea that for 37 years, bikes would play a major part in my life. Or, for the last six, that the Ramble would be my life.

When I started the ride, it was at a low point. A business had just ended, and though not a total failure, it ended like many companies: messy.

Penance became the long ride. The long ride became the Ramble. Our riders and adventure became my purpose. And now, all I think about is getting back to them.

Thank you to all our riders, volunteers, friends, and partners for the last six years and our upcoming seventh.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and love and happiness in the new year.

Did you know Ramble Rides also books personal adventures? It’s true, and whether one of our developed routes (we have lots!) or riding your dream, we’re there for you. We just booked a turn-key Arizona gravel trip and ready for more.

If you have a dream ride idea but don’t know where to start, give a holler and get ready to ride your adventure.

#rambleride #rideyouradventure #rideshimano #shimanogravel #bikepacking #adventurecycling #gravel #gravelbike #explore #travel #cycling #rideyourbike #adventurebybike #travel #shimanogrx #colorado #panaracer #ibiscycles #hakkamx

Weather. It’s something we have to contend with in CO and WY. 75 degrees one day, snowing the next. Rain so hard overnight, bridges wash out and trees fall over.

On Rambles we have plans A,B,C, and D and a route knowledge to keep going.

Every Ramble Ride is an adventure. Come ride your adventure with us.

New this year for Ramble Rides is a rating of each ride's difficulty. Rambles are demanding, and we've developed challenges for all levels.

Our Colorado Summer Ramble is 270 miles, with just under 24K of climbing. 92% is off-road; Forest Service, double track, and Jackson County's best gravel.

Our Utah Summer Ramble is fewer miles at 213 but a whopping 28K in climbing. Nothing but steep in the Wasatch.

Both are four summit rides, our most challenging. ⛰⛰⛰⛰

So if you thought "Ramble Ride" meant a jaunty stroll in the woods, think again. Get ready to be accomplished.

Ride your adventure.

Ride your adventure.

Let's get ready to Ramble in 2022.

We have five Ramble Rides in 2022, including a Women’s only and a ride in Utah.

Our site is updated, and registration is open. Come ride with us this Summer!

We don't host a women's ride every year. Ramble Rides, on average, see about 13-15% women per ride—the same as most events. But, most of those are from couples. If we looked at single-attending women or those who came with other female friends, that number is in the low single digits.

We can do better than that.

Rider surveys from women tell us confidence is a primary driver for feeling comfortable on a Ramble Ride. It's not fitness. It's confidence.

We believe representation builds confidence.

This year we're hosting a women's only event, June 22-25. Open to women and those who identify. No cake-walk route here. You're going to be challenged and sometimes uncomfortable. But you will be having this experience with other like-minded friends and with our female riding ambassadors right beside you.

Ride your adventure.

Registration opens 12/15.

Covid changed a lot about adventures for us. Smaller rides became a focus and we held several private rides; a gravel fishing trip, a 50th birthday celebration, a long dreamt about multi-day trail ride.

We’re keeping private rides in 2022. Have a trip in mind? Want help with planning and logistics? Give a shout and let’s plan a trip to remember.

Awe Yeah. New @champsys kit arrived today and looking 🔥.

The first order will ship out this week, and for those interested, we’ll have a link to clothing on the 2022 site launching soon.

Pairs nicely with your red @ibiscycles Hakka MX.

Maintaining our fleet of @ibiscycles Hakkas is a chore. We all know the adage about rental cars; same with bikes. And with so many of our riders air-traveling with bikes, bent hangers are our #1 issue. We recently picked up an @abbeybiketools HAG and man, we should have gotten this sooner. Worth the investment if you travel with your bike.

But, if you come on a Ramble, you can use ours.

North Park. Medicine Bow, and Routt National Forests; Jackson County, Colorado.

Next year marks our seventh year Rambling here.

Come ride with us to experience these special places.

With so many riders, it's easy to form cliques and we always look for ways to bring the group closer. During this ride, we added an @hp Sprocket and got back to learning names and making friends. Did it help form one of the most social rides we’ve ever had? Quite possibly.

The @bearcreekdistillery spirits didn't hurt either!

Such a great finish to the Ramble Ride season. A full house, awesome weather, and a rider group and crew that was fantastic.

Thanks to all our staff and volunteers who put in the work this year and riders who keep coming back and those who rode with us for the first time.

A short break, then back at it getting ready for year seven of adventures!

The literal high point of Rambles this year. We don't usually do an out-and-back on our routes, but when there’s a fire outlook? You bet. So shy of 11K feet, if you have a good vertical jump, you’ll get there. But a jump might be tough after the climb up.
