Course Description
Mixing up the Ramble again!! It’s not broken but we decided to fix it anyway. Hopefully the bridge over the Englishman River won’t be washed away this year, otherwise there will be even more fixing involved. The usual start location at Fletcher’s Farm in lovely Errington, BC. The race course will be a combination of HammerFest single and double track with some fast sections of gravel road. Portions of previous Rambles included as well as new routes and trails. The river crossing will be a beauty to behold (and ride?). Always something to look forward to.
There is one feed zone that will split the Full Ramble from the Half Ramble racers. The Full Ramble is about 50 km with the Half Ramble being about 45 km. The Half Ramble bypasses the wonderfully steep, Coombs Glacier road climb. From here the Half Ramble will follow a short road section and then racers will return alone the same track they started on.
Whichever way you go, it will be all be a good way to spend a Sunday!!
