On Saturday, June 22, there’s excitement for bike riders at the gravel adventure for the 4^th annual Ruby Roubaix Gravel Fondo in Lamoille, just outside of Elko.

The 120.5 mile-loop starts and ends in the picturesque town of Lamoille, nestled at the base of the majestic Ruby Mountains.  Experience all the elements for great gravel racing: spectacular scenery, vast expanses of lightly traveled roads, challenging terrain and a healthy dose of small-town hospitality.

Experience the wild, rugged beauty of Nevada on a bicycle choosing from 22-mile, 38-mile, 62-mile, 120.5-mile routes on a mix of gravel and pavement or E-bike category for Secret Pass, Lee and Pleasant Valley Loops.  

The event is Fondo style so you can race it or ride it–you pick. Routes range from mild to the wild, so you choose your level of challenge as well. We think a gravel bike is just about the perfect way to experience our hidden gem of Nevada.

There’s lots of fun for everyone from 9am to 3pm with corn hole games, mobile mini golf and music.
