Wild Horse Gravel

May 20, 2023

Hosted on the luxury High Lonesome Ranch, cyclists will be treated to a country cook-out, campfire, cabins, camping – or glamping – and the best local music. In short, there will be a country hoedown to accompany the race. In addition to being well hidden, The High Lonesome Ranch and its surrounding area isn’t open to riding year-round, so participants benefit from exclusive access to this secret stash of wild-west gravel.

You are encouraged to take the ride as seriously or as frivolously as you like, the name of the game is doing a big gravel ride with friends new and old. Even those that hammer away at maximum speed will stop to regroup, taking in the views and the delicious local goodies at the well-stocked feed stations.

Courses

Wild Horse Gravel has two course options: a 30-mile gravel route and a 65-mile gravel route that will test your limits. Yes, they are wild and challenging, but they are also doable and you will feel a great sense of accomplishment. Giddy-up!

Mission: Nonprofit Partners & Beneficiaries

A portion of all registration proceeds will support Friends of the Mustangs in their efforts to protect and preserve wild horses throughout Grand Junction. Friends of the Mustangs (FOM) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization established in 1982 in Grand Junction, CO. They work alongside the BLM to keep water holes and tanks flowing and clean, mountain trails clear and marked, help with gathers and adoptions and even provide birth control to mares. They have received several awards from the BLM for our volunteer support of the horses and five of their members most recently were nominated for volunteer of the year award. They are passionate about protecting and preserving wild horses in the community.
