Rules to Ramble – 2025

The Ramble runs on open public roads.  "Rules of the road" must be followed: stop at stop signs, stay on the right side of the road, and watch for other vehicles. Be smart.
 

Riders are responsible for navigating the course. Using a computer or phone to follow the route files is recommended.
 

All participants will need to sign-in in person and sign a waiver prior to their start on Saturday. ID will be required and no one else will be able to sign-in for you.  
 

Riders are expected to follow the primary routes. No short cuts or alternative routes are allowed. If anyone goes off course, they must attempt to re-enter the route where they originally went off. Please stay within the primary boundaries of the road.
 

Riders will need to be able to support themselves while out on the course. This means carrying sufficient food, drink, extra inner tubes, essential tools, and any additional clothing.
 

There will be no outside support allowed on the course. Riders may purchase supplies from a store or receive help from a house along the route but assistance cannot be 'delivered' to a rider. Please don't call your mom to bring you a drink while you're out on one of the loops.
 

Riders need to finish on the bike they start the event with. Pieces can be changed throughout the event to keep it on the gravel but the primary bike (frame) needs to remain the same throughout the ride. Your bike also needs to be 100% human powered. No e-bikes or motorized aids are allowed. It's all you.
 

Lights for visibility are a good idea for everyone, all day long. A minimum of a working clear front light and a red rear light must be installed prior to starting the final loop regardless of time of day.
