Ride with a Purpose - All Proceeds go to Rare Disease Research and Advocacy

I started this endeavor nine years ago as a passionate cyclist with a cause.  Building community, Advocating for a cause, challenged with the parallels between gravel riding/ racing, walking the rare disease journey and educating myself and others, about childhood rare disease.  I am not a charity but work directly with Vermont Rare, Rasopathies Network, CFC International amongst others to educate people on rare disease and finding ways to improve the lives of young people and families that live with a rare disease.  So if you to are passionate about something; enjoy strong community and friends, do things with a purpose, love to ride and are excited about a new challenge, Vermont Rare Gravel might be the perfect fit!

“Have you ever been on a ride when the vibe and flow is just right?  That was the feeling of the RAS Adventure Ride.  With a great mix of classic Vermont dirt roads, limited amounts of tarmac and many challenging miles of off-road segments, you have all the elements of a classic dirt road event in the making.  I hear that there will be even more off-road sections next year, so it’s only going to get better!  Be sure to mark this event on your calendar for next year – you won’t want to miss it.”

"Thanks for another great RAS ride! It was my girlfriend's first travel event, and her longest ride ever! She survived and enjoyed it, even the crazy hill around mile 30!"      ~2018 Participant
