Although we postponed the gravel ride to next year, June 19, 2021, let's do what we can to build on the fantastic foundation we have established at www.ridearoundtherubies.com.

Yes, it has been a let-down (aka big bummer) to halt this year's event, but everything remains in place to update and share photos, experiences and training encouragement for folks who were looking forward to the ride as well as to those who may have been curious!

For the beginner - you have a whole year to train for this!!!!!

​

For the more experienced cyclist - now you know what we are 'all about' and you and your friends are welcome to visit, train and prepare for an event that is sure to please!

​

For the elite cyclists - this event will be like the "Tour de France" for locals. We have an entire community ... many who have never observed or experienced competitive cycling. 

I still remember the excitement as I attended my very first cycling event. I was overwhelmed with admiration for the athletes, fascinated as I learned all I DID NOT know about bicycles, nutrition, training and devotion, and how family/fan friendly the whole event was. I have been hooked ever since!

We encourage you and your friends to publicly share your enthusiasm. Your personal experiences will help us fine-tune the Ride Around the Rubies: Gravel Ride on June 19, 2021!

Warm regards to everyone,

Kerry Aguirre
