If you’ve ever wondered what keeps riders coming back to The Range year after year, here’s the secret:
It’s the gravel community.
This crew shows up, shows out, and makes Claresholm feel like the gravel capital of the universe for one glorious day each July.
They’re the kind of riders who:
- Cheer for strangers
- High-five mid-dust cloud
- Laugh at the suffering... yours and theirs
- And then sign up again because apparently we’re all wired the same way
If you want a race filled with good vibes, great gravel, and riders you’ll swear you’ve known forever… July 11 in Claresholm is where you need to be.

Happy Sunday Funday, bike people!
We sincerely hope you’re out riding your favourite trails today instead of doing something irresponsible… like vacuuming the house.
Go find some dirt and remind yourself why bikes are the best worst financial decision we’ve ever made.
See you out there.

Gran Fondo Badlands: because nothing says “great weekend” like biking through a prehistoric valley while a giant T-Rex silently judges your cadence.
Come for the views, stay because your legs have accepted their fate.

Some places don’t just host a stage race — they define it.
Santa Fe does exactly that.
High desert singletrack, big-sky ridgelines, volcanic mesas, forest flow, and trails that make you forget you were breathing hard two seconds ago.
Three stages. Three totally different vibes:
• Los Alamos • rugged, dramatic, and sneaky-fun
• Galisteo Basin • wide open, rhythmic, borderline meditative
• Glorieta • fast, purpose-built trails guaranteed to make you grin
And when the riding’s done? World-class food, local beer, art, history, and that laid-back Santa Fe magic waiting for you at the finish.
