SUMMARY:Ranchita Rambler IV with Emily Elliot in Borrego Springs\, California - WAIT LIST
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”66918″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]Ranchita Rambler: A Desert Bikepacking Adventure in Southern California \nAdventure enthusiasts will gather for the Ranchita Rambler\, a desert overnighter designed for experienced riders who are new to bikepacking. This Southern California adventure offers a mix of sand\, mountains\, and stunning landscapes\, making it a prime weekend getaway. The route features diverse terrain\, delicious Mexican food\, a communal group camp\, the Culp Valley Cultural Preserve\, the Anza Borrego Desert State Park\, and the renowned Dark Sky Community. \nParticipants are encouraged to make a suggested $20 donation to help offset the campground reservation fee\, firewood\, and camp snacks. Emily Elliott is the contact person for the event and can be reached at emilyelliott43@gmail.com. \nThe Route and Experience \nThe Ranchita Rambler Grand Depart is not a race but rather a relaxed weekend of bikepacking with friends. Riders will start and camp together but are encouraged to ride at their own pace and navigate the route independently. The journey begins and ends in Ranchita\, CA\, at the Ranchita Bodega. \nDay one kicks off with some early climbs through the Ranchita foothills\, followed by a thrilling sandy descent down Grapevine Canyon into the Anza Borrego Desert. Riders will then tackle a paved section with a narrow shoulder\, leading to the scenic Cactus Valley double track. The route also passes the famous Borrego Springs metal sculptures\, adding a cultural touch to the adventure. \nThe first night’s campsite will be at Borrego Palm Canyon Campground\, where riders can enjoy amenities like flush toilets and coin-operated hot showers while gazing at the breathtaking night sky. Along the way\, there are opportunities to refuel with quintessential California burritos in the town of Borrego Springs. \nOn day two\, riders can either grab breakfast in camp or start their ascent up the iconic Montezuma Valley Road\, also known as the “Glass Elevator” for its panoramic views of the desert floor. The climb\, with its 3\,300-foot elevation gain\, is challenging\, but the vistas are worth the effort. The route then leads through the Culp Valley Cultural Preserve\, offering double track trails and educational sites with views extending to the Salton Sea. For those preferring a less sandy option\, the Culp Valley segment can be bypassed by staying on the pavement. \nThe ride concludes back in Ranchita. Riders should note that\, as of July 2024\, the Ranchita Bodega is not operational\, so it’s wise to stash post-ride snacks in your car. Nearby options for food include Josie’s Hideout\, Lake Henshaw Cafe\, or the Warner Springs gas station. \nFor more insights\, including survey results from the 2023 Ranchita Rambler\, riders can visit the Ranchita Rambler Route on Ride with GPS. \nPrepare for a rad weekend of desert bikepacking—embrace the sand\, soak in the views\, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow adventurers under the Southern California sky.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:2025 Mega MidSouth Grand Depart
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”71152″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””] \n300 MILES / SELF-SUPPORTED / NO ENTRY FEE\n 2nd ANNUAL GRAND DEPART NOVEMBER 1st\, 2025. \n\nMEGA LORE \nThis route was originally inspired from a passing comment from Dave Easley. In the summer of 2022 Dave was attempting a back to back ride of the 5 most recent Mid South 100 courses. Josh McCullock joined Dave for a bit of one of those rides and at some point in exhausted delirium\, Dave mentioned linking together the outer perimeter of all the historical Mid South courses. The idea was planted\, and over the next 2 years The Mid South didn’t let it go. \nWith help from Dr. Seth Wood and our friends at Ride with GPS\, the course was cobbled together. All that was left was to ground truth the route. That process resulted in a 5 part documentary series you can watch below. \nOnce the route was finessed\, we invited the community to come ride it! \nThe inaugural grand depart of this route happened on Sept 18th 2024\, with the estimated completion coinciding with The Mid South 2025 registration party. The morning held great anticipation with 140 riders aboard their rigs for takeoff. The Oklahoma landscape held a bevy of challenges for these riders including high temps of 108 degrees\, stifling humidity and even a deadly overnight thunder storm. \nIn the end\, only 40 riders completed the 300 mile route earning them a hallowed place in the lore of Mega Mid South. We speak their names with reverence. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
