Alma Glengravel Ramble p/b Avalon Pontoons

Welcome to the fourth annual Alma Glengravel Ramble presented by Avalon Pontoons!

The Glengravel tour is back again for 2025! Sign up for a distance that works for you, and please invite your friends to join in the fun! Rider check-in will be on the west side of Terry's Cycle from 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. on May 17, and start your ride when you want to! Registration is capped at 200 riders total.

Notes for 2025:

We again have three route distances: 10 miles, 31 miles, and 53 miles--all with at least one on-course aid station. Our local gravel roads are generally on the hard-packed clay end of the gravel spectrum (although in mid-May I might expect some soft spots)!ALL ENTRANTS will now receive $20 in vouchers to spend at our partner businesses--see below.We're bringing back our fun poker run! After completing the route, all riders will receive playing cards when they check in with our staff and take a picture at the “FINISHER” banner behind Terry's Cycle. The best 5-card hands will win prizes! Up for grabs:$100 gift card to Terry's Cycle$50 gift card to Terry's Cycle…more to come! Prices online increase by $5 after 11:59 p.m. EST on April 1--no joke!

 

The Glengravel is a tour so there is no formal start time and all roads are open to traffic. E-bikes are welcome. Rider check-in is between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. behind Terry's Cycle. The course will be marked on Friday night and both .gpx files and paper maps will be available for riders. Riders must follow all applicable rules of the road. Please plan to be self-sufficient on course. Stop if you see someone in need. Sag support is a phone call away. Light mechanical assistance is available at the Lumberjack Park aid station. Be safe out there!

 

Looking for a place to stay? Check out The 3one3 Boutique Hotel in downtown Alma, right next to Terry's Cycle where you'll check in on May 17! All rooms are on the first floor and have ample space to store your bike.

All registrants receive:

NEW FOR 2025: $20 in food vouchers, which are good at the Alma Brewing Company, Ballyhoo Books & Brew, and Block House in downtown Alma. These four $5 vouchers are good only on May 17, 2025. THANK YOU for supporting our local businesses while you're in town!Food/nutritional items (in your swag bags and at the on-course aid stations)A custom Avalon Pontoons / Alma Glengravel Ramble water bottle (Specialized Purist or Big Mouth 2.0)Custom SockGuy socks (sizes S/M and L/XL available on a first-come-first-choice basis)

...and much more!

If you're interested in ordering a short sleeve jersey please do so by FEBRUARY 10 using the option when you register on BikeReg. These fit on the small end of the spectrum so I would recommend ordering at least one full size larger for a snug fit, and at least two sizes larger if you'd like a more comfortable fit. (For reference, I'm typically a race-fit large but the XL sample I have on-hand fits well.)
