WE ARE BACK FOR VOLUME III OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER RAMBLE!

Come experience the rarely ridden gravel backroads of Northeastern Oklahoma! Our courses lead you on the scenic backroads of Cherokee and Adair counties. We offer three route options: a challenging 62 mile course with a lot of climbing and chunky roads, a 30 mile intermediate route with fun climbs and descents, as well as a 10 mile intro to gravel riding! Remember this is a ride not a race, have fun and enjoy the day! This part of Oklahoma ain't flat!

After your ride, hang out at the finish line for complimentary food and drinks from Downing Brewery! Stick around while we welcome everyone back home, from the first to final finisher!
