GRAVEL ADVENTURE FOR EVERYONE

The Ranger offers multiple ride distances and a gravel-enduro format, so while it’s not a race, there’s competition available for those seeking it. Sunday’s ride options include a 5-mile family/Junior Ranger; an 18-mile course with a community no-drop group-ride option; a 40-mile gravel enduro; and a 60-mile gravel century.

The Ranger is a mass-start ride where participants looking to compete can do so in a gravel enduro format. Think of a gravel enduro as a “race within a ride” where the only race times that are tracked come on a series of timed segments (also called stages). Finishing times aren’t based on overall ride time but on each rider’s cumulative time from these several segments. 

Segments begin with signage communicating approximate distance and end with another sign to let you know that you can relax and resume soaking up the scenery. Segments range from technical Class IV (variable rocks, roots, and mud) to smooth packed dirt. 

Awards will be given to the top three riders in the male, female and gender-diverse categories. Riders in 42- and 62-mile distances will be scored together.

Each year, The Ranger donates up to $10,000 to local organizations that focus on three specific areas: stewardship for rural and agricultural land, access to outdoor recreation and sustaining small communities. By participating in The Ranger, you make a positive impact in Tunbridge and the surrounding towns.
