| You still have a chance . . .
Long before the internet, the world of snail mail ticketing evoked creativity, devotion, and artistically decorate envelopes to up the chances of getting tickets. Yeah, we are throwing back to the Dead Head culture. Dead Heads went to extraordinary, often inspiring, lengths to get their hands on concert tickets by mailing the band and its staff. After all, the only way to get tickets for the Dead was to go directly to the source. Most often, this took the form of letters (and envelopes) with personalized Dead artwork the likes of which the U.S. Postal Service had ever seen. So with that and the sell-out of the Rasputitsa, we are doing just that. When you hit the waitlist instead of us receiving the dozens of emails we get begging, saying you are your friend’s ride, telling us your spouse just gave permission, imploring us on your life’s details, we ask you this. You want in to the Rasputitsa? Send us something. Once we receive something that fits in a letter envelope and as long as it isn’t fragile, liquid, perishable, pornographic, or potentially hazardous, we will push your registration through. You will be charged but your spot will be confirmed. Full details emailed once on the waitlist, but we reserve the right to share these mailed articles on social media and other channels. | |||||

| Categories:
Full Hundo: This is the whole enchilada. Don't select this category without knowing that you are in for one hell of a challenge. This route is somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 vertical feet of climbing (depending on the gps) and has broken many very experienced cyclists. 3/4 Hundo: Here is the ride for those of you who are on the fence between doing the whole ride and the shorter course. You will still get a great ride, some gravel, great views, and quite a challenge. Although this is a shorter distance than the full hundo, please be aware that this is a significant challenge for many experienced cyclists. Metric Hundo: If you want to come out and give this ride a try but you don't have the time, or the hundo is just a bit too much to bite off for you, this is a perfect ride. There is plenty of gravel, elevation, scenery, and smiles to make it totally worth trying this ride. Just because this is a shorter distance, do not expect it to be a walk in the park. There are some monster climbs and some challenging descents on this course. Charity riders: So you slept on registering. That is ok. It happens to the best of us. If you want to register and know that you are in, here is your chance. You can register for the ride by making a donation to my favorite cycling specific groups. The way this works is as follows. You register for the ride for $100. The first $40 is for LLWH so that we can cover expenses. $60 is for the charity of your choice from the list below. When you register for this category, I will email you to see what group you want to make the donation for. | |||||

| 2019-07-20 | Raid Lamoille | 25, 50+ | 9:00 AM | Craftsbury,VT | |
| Welcome to Raid Lamoille, a premier gravel grinder event. Details can be found on the ride web site (raidlamoille.com) but we can tell you this – the long route will be around 50 miles , mostly gravel and will include a staggering amount of climbing. Yeah, it’s hard.
Not up for that? We do offer a sweet 25-mile option! Mostly self-supported along the way, riders are treated to a lunch buffet and cold beer at the finish. YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE TO REGISTER FOR THIS RIDE Raid – Our definition? A raid is a challenging route that includes a significant amount of packed-gravel riding and some major climbing segments. Some would call it a dirt road randonee, others a gravel grinder, we just call it a Raid. This is not a race. A properly prepared rider and bike of most any type can do this. Our guarantee – you will finish tired but feeling accomplished. It’s probably not for everybody, but you’re not everybody, right? For more information about the ride visit raidlamoille.com | |||||
| 2019-08-17 | D2R2 | 12+ | 6:00 AM | Deerfield,MA | |
| D2R2 - The Deerfield Dirt Road Randonnee 2019
RIDE FOR THE LAND Saturday, August 17, 2019 Presented by the Franklin Land Trust We celebrate the landscape, the history, and the rural culture of western Massachusetts, and work to ensure, through a program of land protection, that the historic pattern of field, woodland and village will endure for the benefit of generations to come. Rain or Shine Event - Sorry No Refunds ROUTE CHOICES (see descriptions) 180K, 160K (new route), 115K, 100K , 100K+ Mystery Ride, 50 mile Paved Ride (new), 40 mile Green River Tour and 12 mile Family Ride. Register early for the best rates. NEW!!! DPR2 - Deerfield Paved Route Randonnee What? A paved route? Yup...why not? We realize there are many “roadies” out there that don’t own bikes that are suitable for most of our routes. Or maybe gravel just isn’t their thing. A riding buddy of yours, a spouse perhaps. They have heard about the adventure, the fun, and the stunning landscapes that the D2R2 offers. So, This year we are introducing the Deerfield Paved Road Randonee (DPR2) with these folks in mind. Although shorter than some of the gravel routes, this will nonetheless be a 50+ miler that will challenge riders with close to 5000’ of climbing. Like other D2R2 routes this one will explore the scenic, lesser traveled byways of this region that in this case, will be suitable for skinny tires. Riders will experience steep climbs, swift descents, flat cruising past working farms along the Deerfield River, historic bridges, distant views...a bit of everything. Start time TBA Mystery Ride - This years’ Mystery will use bits and pieces of other routes spliced together in a new and different way. A few stretches that will resemble trails more than roads are to be expected. There will be 6800 feet of climbing, more or less. More punishment will be possible for those who seek it by adding an optional new 10 mile after-lunch loop that will have two serious climbs...one long and steady and the other short but as steep as it gets. You’ll need to be flexible in your thinking and ready for anything as route details won’t be available until just before the ride. Start time TBA. 160K - A serious new 160k route is being planned for 2019 that will wind its way westward into terrain unexplored by previous D2R2 routes. The route will traverse 3 state forests using newly refurbished one lane gravel roads as well as seldom traveled rough stretches with puddles and rocks. To add to the fun, there will be some smooth cruising and some wicked steep climbs...just to give you something to talk about over beer and a great meal at the end. Stats will be similar to the old route with roughly 10,000 feet of climbing so this is not something for the faint of heart. Start time TBA. PRE-RIDE PARTY - FRIDAY EVENING - New vendors. New food. New beer. Music and Bonfire. Watch for details. | |||||
