RAMROD News
We are in the process of completely reorganizing RAMROD’s official web presence. Bear with us as we get things put together. We are an organization run by volunteers. Last year we had to scramble on short notice as the date was moved from July to September and the course was completely changed.
RAMROD 2024 went well despite the late change in course and the date moved from July to September. We had positive feedback from Park officials concerning the ride and the Park officials thought the revised, reverse course was not disruptive to Park operations. Most of our riders were happy with the new course. We got some good feedback and will be working on some ways the ride can be improved.
This web site will be the location going forward for official information about RAMROD. We will be posting updates regularly to keep our community of riders and volunteers informed.
Please be aware that our ability to present RAMROD is dependent on permits including permits from the National Park. The terms and conditions for permits can change from year to year and we may not know what will be required of us until later in the year. In addition, the mountain environment can be harsh and adverse road conditions can result which may require a course modification.
The information we provide is based on our best estimate of what we will be able to do in 2025. We cannot and do not guarantee a specific date or specific course.
First bit of news, there WILL be a RAMROD 2025. We anticipate returning to the National Park including the southern roads and we will be doing this again in the reverse course, same as 2024.
We will also be seeking to move the event into July or August, at this point it is too early to know what the Park will permit. We hope to have more information shortly after the holidays.
Registration is being planned for March as usual and there will be a lottery as in the past. Further information on RAMROD registration will be posted here in January.
It seems we barely finish one RAMROD when planning starts on the next year. Our team is already actively involved in preparations for RAMROD 2025.
As a rider your job is to get out there and ride your bike.
Happy Holidays everyone!!!!
George, RAMROD Director
