Ramble Ride
Open
It rains on the Ramble sometimes. And when it does, we dry out, eat good food, drink good beverages, and do it again. If you've been living in the world, you've probably noticed a bit of a weather change. We have, and every year ramp up our inclement weather efforts. When we say #rideyouradventure we mean it. #rambleride #rideshimano #bikepacking #gravelride

I've sat for ten minutes thinking about what to write. What can I say? It's Shifty and he's everyone's favorite. @shiftyglass

Rippin' along the California Coast. Speaking of that; with the storms rippin' California, bring flooding and indeterminate road closures, we're going to be moving our May Road Ramble to September. We've let folks know, and we'll update our site as soon as we finalize lodging dates. #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano

Sometimes, the best part of the ride comes from retelling the adventure. We are born of myths told under starry skies. #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano #bikepacking

Gotta get up to get down. Four days to change your state of mind, courtesy of the Ramble Ride. Our rides give you the chance disconnect, unplug, and focus on getting over that hill. #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano #ringo

The genesis for the Road Ramble starts in a time before digital. This route was my fist long solo ride back in 1989, riding with just flip-flops, running shorts, t-shirt, and cash in a make-shift seat pack. I washed my kit every night in cheap hotel sinks, ate diner and gas-station food, and made the 360 mile trip in three days. Things have changed a bit since those days. We'll take it a little slower, and upgrade the food and accommodations for sure, but we're still following a well-traveled route of NorCal cycling history, and a bucket-list adventure you'll never forget. Come ride with me this Spring. Details at ramblerides.com #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano

This is Danny. Danny is from Arkansas and every time he Rambled he'd say “you need to come to Arkansas.” Good news Danny. We’re coming. Our first Fayetteville Ramble is May 30-June 2. Y’all come now. #rambleride #rideyouradventure #rideshimano

Ramble Camp. The perfect place to be after a day of riding. Time to relax, fuel up, and get ready to do it again. Lots of riders have called the Ramble Ride "Summer Camp for adults." We'll take that. #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano #bikepacking #campinglife

In-person events were a big part of what we did on Ramble Rides before the pandemic. We'd get folks together to show bikepacking and relevant videos, image shares, and bring in folks to share experiences and knowledge. We've given voice to authors promoting books and partners wanting to connect with folks over exciting products. It was also a way to share the Ramble Ride and answer questions about the event. I called it a "stoke tour." Let's get back to it. We're planning a stoke tour in Salt Lake City and Fayetteville, but where else should we go? Let's get together to share experiences and stories. Have an idea where we should go? Have something you'd like to share in a setting like this? Let's make it happen. Get in touch with us through the contact info on our website or here on social. #rideyouradventure and share it. #rambleride #rideshimano #bikepacking #cycling

We started as a fully bikepacking event, but over the years, riders began pushing the limits of what they needed to carry, and now most of our riders take just what they need for the day, and what riders decide to carry is as varied as the riders themselves. But every once in a while, someone comes and wants to tackle the ride OG style, fully loaded down, and we say go for it. Rambles are a great way to hone a gear list and test yourself for a more extended adventure, and we've had Ramblers head off to challenges like the GDMBR, Arkansas High Country, and even far-flung routes like the High Atlas route in Morrocco. So the question is, how will you ride your Ramble? #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano

This year, we're eastbound and down with our first Ramble Ride in Arkansas, the Fayetteville Ramble, produced in partnership with the folks @fayettevillear, from May 30-June 2. We love riding in the South; the landscape and experience are just so different from our other Rambles; it's no wonder they become among our most popular when we host rides in this region. To best explore the Ozarks, we're staying at one camp on this ride, looping through river valleys, deciduous forests, and historic landscapes each day. Come experience the Ozarks with us, and join in the one-of-a-kind camaraderie that the Ramble Ride provides.

New this year is a Road Ramble, and what better route than arguably where the Rambles began? The ride to Santa Barbara from Santa Cruz was my first challenging, multi-day ride, and for the racing community in Santa Cruz, an early season benchmark ride. There are two ways to go, and the route down Highway One, along the coast, is by far the most memorable. We'll spend a week riding in California, with the first-day shakeout ride on my favorite Santa Cruz ride. Then, it's 319 miles and 20K of climbing over the next four days. It'll be a small group, no more than eight, and five slots remain. A small group guarantees an intimate experience for the riders on an iconic ride. Last year, I returned to my riding roots, riding to Santa Barbara and knowing this was a ride to share. We look forward to you joining us this spring on this incredible adventure.

Let's get Ramblin' in 2023! We're getting ready to kick off year number eight on the Ramble Ride. This year we're riding in Colorado, Utah, and Arkansas. And for those looking for something a little less Rambley, we have our all-new Race The Ramble, a team event in Jackson County and North Park. It's one day and night of some of the best of our Colorado route and camp festivities in Walden, our favorite Ramble community. With three Rambles, RTR, and our Road Ramble, 2023 will be a great year. Thank you, Ramble Fam, for seven great years, and looking forward to riding adventures with you this season.

We travel through this raging landscape—each storm offering awe at its end. ⁠ ⁠ There are lessons to be learned in nature. There is value in discomfort, fear, and uncertainty. Absent, you lose knowledge of the splendor. ⁠ ⁠ -after the storm in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #rideyouradventure⁠ ⁠ #rambleride #rideshimano #shimanogravel #bikepacking#adventurecycling #gravel #gravelbike #explore #cycling#rideyourbike #adventurebybike #travel #shimanogrx #colorado #panaracer #ibiscycles

We can't guarantee you'll see wildlife, but we can say you have a great opportunity. Moose are always what folks want to see, and our early summer rides and fall rides are the best chances. ⁠ ⁠ What else? Lots of deer, antelope, coyotes, fox, and badger. More rare, but sighted over the years; wolf and bear. But don't worry about those last two: they are off always in the distance and will likely see, smell or hear you long before you them. ⁠ ⁠ Maybe we should have a Ramble Ride bingo. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #rideyouradventure⁠ ⁠ #rambleride #rideshimano #shimanogravel #bikepacking#adventurecycling #gravel #gravelbike #explore #cycling#rideyourbike #adventurebybike #travel #shimanogrx #colorado #panaracer #ibiscycles

Our Fall Ramble is one of our favorites. Warm days, cool nights, clear skies, and only one camp. And don't forget about those Fall colors. ⁠ ⁠ One camp rides have a different vibe and give just that little bit of extra time to get to know each other, and enjoy the experience. ⁠ ⁠ But don't think not moving camps means less riding. At 250 miles of gravel riding, and 22K feet of climbing for the event, you're still going to get plenty of challenge. ⁠ ⁠ Join us for our last ride of 2022.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #rideyouradventure⁠ ⁠ #rambleride #rideshimano #shimanogravel #bikepacking#adventurecycling #gravel #gravelbike #explore #travel #cycling#rideyourbike #adventurebybike #shimanogrx #colorado #panaracer #ibiscycles⁠

You have more. Ramble Rides are fully sagged, but that doesn't mean you have a free ride to camp. Our philosophy is "you'll ride more than you think, but never more than you can." On one ride, we had a rider who wanted to get in. They were uncomfortable on the climbs and lost contact with others. But I could tell the issue was more mental than physical. "You have more," I told them at every meeting. "You think so?" "I do." And so, all day, we danced this dance: me passing them, them cursing me for not letting them in, me saying, "you have more. Just to the top." And when they got to the top, they always mustered to continue. For three days. At the end, after hugs and high-fives, came the "I didn't think I could do it." On the Ramble, we always know that you can. #rideyouradventure #rambleride #rideshimano #shimanogravel #bikepacking#adventurecycling #gravel #gravelbike #explore #travel #cycling#rideyourbike #adventurebybike #travel #shimanogrx #colorado #panaracer #ibiscycles
