Minnesota Randonneurs Gravel Challenge Update
Last weekend we enjoyed celebratory refreshments and snacks at the ride finish along with engraved mug presentations to several riders for reaching their 2024 MnRando 300k Gravel Challenge. Eight riders have now reached the 300km award level and were able to put their new mugs directly to use. Thanks to Phil Higley for the mug design and vendor management.
There are still several more riders who aren't far away from the 300k gravel goal. You do have until the end of the year to reach this goal (and a mug).
To help ring up some more gravel kms in 2024, we will be adding another gravel populaire later in November: David Marsh's fun new Crooked Cucumber 117k route. Stay tuned for details soon.
Following are the current stats on the 2024 300k Gravel Challenge and 1000k lifetime RUSA gravel kms. The lifetime total rolls along every year so you have lots of time to get to 1000k, but why wait!
