After-ride party!

Food is going to be amazing. Drinks are locked in (Ritual). Now we have music! This will be a great place to hang out and unwind after the ride. Bring the kids, all are welcome!

Only 100 spots left!

Just under five weeks to go...

I'm getting excited about this!

That is all.

Well I think it's a beautiful place to ride...

...but I guess that's just like, my opinion, man.

Just hit 100 registrants!

Last year we had 41 registered at the end of January. This year it's 100 on Jan 24th.
We are capping it at an optimistic 250 this year, so if you're thinking about signing up, might want to commit sooner rather than later!

If you wait too long, you might not get to sign up the day of the event!

Course Familiarity

Locals have the benefit of knowing the area. We really want out of towners to be similarly comfortable with route options. The best feature of the RSR is the ability to alter the course, adding or subtracting miles depending on how your legs and lungs are feeling that day. We lay out what WE think is the best route, but if you think otherwise, ride your own ride!

To that end, familiarizing or reacquainting yourself with previous routes is a good idea.

2015 route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/7148234

2014 route: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4102226

Take a look at how the routes go from Redlands and into Yucaipa, accessing open spaces in each community.

We are out pre-riding segments right now, confirming access, conditions, and fun-factor. It's going to be a good ride, count on it!

All systems are green... go!

And we're officially accepting registration for the 2016 event! Emails went out to prior participants, giving them first opportunity to sign up. Now it's open to all (well, technically always was)!

There are three courses available: English century (100 miles), metric century (62 miles) and metric half century (30 miles). As in previous years, all share the same course! A shared riding experience is one of the foundations of the RSR. The half-metric will be really straighforward, and a good ride for someone just getting into multi-surface rides. The metric century will begin the same as the half, but instead will keep going up to Yucaipa, Crafton and then Mentone. Great sampler of what we have to offer out here!

What's new this year is the 100 mile century ride. It's still being hammered out, but will add on at least two additional segments to the metric century route. The second of which, if all goes according to plan, will have a wee bit of elevation gain on it!

We will be capping registration off at 100 for the metric and half metric, and 50 for the English.

And while registering, please consider becoming an IEBA member. While it does save you a little bit on the fees, it helps us grow our organization. Membership is the key to a successful advocacy group, we need your help!
