The BLØM ride is a FREE self-supported gravel/mixed terrain ride. The ride is NOT A RACE and it’s NOT A NO DROP RIDE either. You could call it a glorified training ride if you really need to call it something. Go as fast or as slow as you’d like... We really don't care. Just come ride your bike and have a good time!
REGISTRATION & DETAILS - Closes Friday, May 28th at 7:11am so we can then send out the rider's guide to everyone. Register at https://www.bikereg.com/blom and check the link for any updates!
TIME - 100-mile @ 7:11am. 100k @ 9:11am. 50k @ 10:11am.
DISTANCES - There will be 3 flavors available to enjoy. 50k, 100k, and 100-miles. Sign up for whatever one you think you'll do and then on the day of the event you can switch if you'd like. 50k is for people looking to get a taste of gravel riding or to enjoy a super chill ride. 100k is for the seasoned rider looking to get in a good workout with friends. The 100-miler is for the hard core gravel enthusiast and it gets a little spicy towards the end.
ROUTE - The route is on OPEN ROADS. Riders must obey all traffic laws, including stopping at STOP signs, not crossing the center line of the road, etc. The routes will NOT be marked and you will have to upload the route to your Garmin. These routes will be included in the rider's guide that will be sent out closer to the ride.
POST RIDE - Pilar’s Tamales will be poppin-up on the Bløm patio with tamales + snacks to enjoy with a mead or cider.
RIDER'S GUIDE - The rider's guide will be sent out to all who have registered a few days before the ride. This guide will have all the info you need to have a good time!
