So many roads. So little time.

Finding new places to ride is always a treat. Not every road makes a good Ramble event, but that doesn't mean the ride wasn't worth the effort. Sometimes the out-and-backs or small loops end up being some of our favorites.

Early evening on the Ramble route in Colorado.

A few weeks before the July event, I’ll head out to ride and check out the route after winter. I’ll drive out and camp, then ride the sections each way often returning as the light fades. Fall Ramblers might recognize this view; our second night camp.

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home

Handmade. Craftmade. A highlight of the Colorado

Handmade. Craftmade.

A highlight of the Colorado rides is the factory tour at Moots. You get walked through the entire process, from receiving raw materials to boxing up a final frame. Think of your favorite custom frame builder. Now realize that Moots is a factory full of them, each with a specific role in handcrafting the ride you're dreaming.

Come out on a Ramble and ride with some of the team, and this year snag a 4-day demo of your favorite Moots gravel machine at no cost. Details at ramblerides.com

The scars from the High Park Fire of 2012 will be

The scars from the High Park Fire of 2012 will be visible for generations along the Colorado Ramble routes. Burning over 87K acres, it raged for nearly a month.

This year, we'll also be traveling through the Beaver Creek fire zone, a fire which 2016 riders were able to see: creating an ominous glow at night as it burned north of the Zirkel Wilderness.

In reality, we've not had a single Ramble year that didn't have some fire impact, and just not here in Colorado: the 2017 Thomas Fire prevented the Ventura Ramble. The now seemingly commonplace of wildfires comes into thought when we plan new locations.

It's a reminder of how fragile our landscape is and that we are all just players on the field.

True story.

This section on the Colorado rides often has a herd of turned out horses. And, in July they're a wee-bit feral. While the Mares are generally non plussed by the riders, keep an eye out for the Stallions because they are keeping an eye on you.

This view, coming off the OG route into the North Park Basin, is stunning. You're looking at the backside of Rocky Mountain NP. I find it hard not to hear something inside, overpowered by landscape like this, when you stop to listen.

Getting after it on Flash of Gold.

We've always tried to blur the line between an "event," and an experience. "Event" sounds just so static. No finish lines, timing chips, or numberplates needed, we work to define boundaries and safety, but leave a lot up to the riders. I LOVE that so much of the experience unfolds on the ride without any planning on our part. On single track, I never get to see riders, so seeing images afterward is deeply satisfying. Folks, on bikes, having a great time. That's what a Ramble is about.

This climb, a gnarly alternative to the smooth Buffalo Pass climb, was a doozy. A little bit “are we lost?”, and a whole lot of up. 👊🏼 .

The weekend is just around the corner!

This climb on Buffalo Pass marks the last challenge of the SBR. This year however, we’re not going over it because of roadwork in July. Instead, we’re headed north on a whole new route and added day. And what a day it’ll be.

No packaged meals here. It takes a small army of folks to feed a small army of riders.

Did you also know we purchase food locally? It’s important to us that if we ride through a community, we support that community and small businesses by using them for as much camp support as possible.
