rebellion route
(The 2024 route will be posted closer to the ride)
shorter, yes; toned down, definitely not!
Our post-ride survey from last year found that a bunch of riders wanted the challenge of the complete route, but in a shorter package. The Rebellion Route is basically the southern loop of the Big Guns route so it eliminates close to 3000' of climbing (5800' total) and over 20 miles of road (66.5 miles total). There are restock points at miles 25 and 37. You'll see much of the same beautifully-maintained dirt as well as the rough and chunky gravel "roads" as the Big Guns, but will be home earlier! This route is 55% unpaved.
The group will depart the field at 8:00am. There are multiple “bail out” points that are marked on the RWGPS route if you want to cut the official route.
