The Ranger: Vermont's Gravel Enduro (2021)

#ridewithpurpose #gravel #vermont On a crystal-clear day in June, we took part in one of Vermont's classic gravel events, known simply as The Ranger. A gravel enduro, this year's event traversed a 42-mile course that climbed close to 6,000 feet and featured 3 GPS-timed segments for those who chose to compete. Starting and finishing at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds, the route visited some spectacular views, incredibly challenging terrain and a whole bunch of Vermont goodness. It was well attended and even better supported, with fantastic aid stations and Cowbell Mobile Bike Shop seemingly everywhere along the way in case of mechanicals. We saw old friends and met new ones along the way, including Ian Boswell, who was kind enough to stop and check on a spent #graveldad, collapsed at the side of the road, and to have a friendly chat about our mutual interest in Picky Bars. We also saw our friends from The Gear House several times over the course of the day, and we raced Ted King and Laura King up one of the enduro segments. No spoilers as to who won. We met a plucky lad from Boston who was on his very first Ranger and whose bike was looking a bit worse for wear. He seemed to be just fine, though. We played in the mud and rode home to enjoy a little #couchlife in a field. We were happy to participate in an event that does so much for its community and beyond, with a legitimate commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. At the end of the day, it's just a bike ride, but when the right combination of thing is all come together, somehow it becomes something more. Something with purpose. We hope you enjoy this day at The Ranger, and will consider riding it yourself in the future. https://therangervt.com/ . . #gravel #gravelride #gravelbike #groads #vt #groadslikethese #vermont #vermontlife #vermontbyvermonters #bikevermont #bikevermontdirty #cyclinglife #vermontonly #bikelife #gravellife #ridelongerfeelstronger #lifepoints #classiv #ridebikesbehappy #theranger #gravelgrinder #gravelevent #gravelrace #unboundgravel #ridewithpurpose #yardsale
