Raven Rock Ramble 2010


A celebration of cycling, a celebration of life

The Raven Rock Ramble is a century (100-mile) bicycle ride which explores the four-county area (Wake, Harnett, Lee, and Chatham) around Raven Rock State Park. Proceeds from the event go to benefit the UNC Kidney Center for direct patient services.  Since its start in 2002, the Raven Rock Ramble has raised over $74,800 toward kidney health and awareness.

The Raven Rock Ramble endorses cyclist safety and responsibility as promoted by The Peleton Project.

An unseasonably hot and windy day lead to some very tired but happy-to-finish cyclists.  468 riders joined this year's Raven Rock Ramble.  I'm still running the numbers, but expect we should clear in excess of $14,000.   Pictures are posted on DotPhoto.

Registration for the tenth and final Raven Rock Ramble will open December 1, 2010.  The ride date will be Sunday, May 1.

Notes from the director
02/28/2010 I've updated the Artwork page with the artwork for 2010. Think yellow!
11/29/2009 I'm just starting to update the web site for 2010 and hope to have registration open in the next week or so.  New for 2010: you may request a Zorrel quick-dry tee shirt instead of Hanes Beefy-T if you prefer, offered at cost for $6 extra.
