Old Man Winter Gravel Bike and/or Run Rally

Let's ride/run the Old Man Winter (OMW) rally on 2/1/26! See oldmanwinterrally.com for all the deets. There are a variety of events (ride only, run only, ride and run) and distances. Registration fees vary accordingly (and depend on the event, distance, and when you register).

I've done this a couple of times. It's very fun. Great vibe, a party, food, drinks, swag, etc. But obviously the weather on Feb 1 can be HIGHLY variable. I learned my lesson in 2024 ($200 in parts and 3 hours to make my bike right again). I'll go if it's cold, but will bag it if it's wet and sloppy.

Given that it'll be very early season, I'm going to ride one of the shorter distances.

This is "A Top 10 Must Ride Gravel Event," at least according to Bicycling magazine.

You'll need to handle your own registration at the url above. Sign up here if you want to coordinate on a carpool to Lyons and/or want some other peeps to ride with. We can work out all the logistics as the event gets closer.
