Richmond Rampage
About this race
The Fall Cycling Classic. The European Spring Classics aren't famous for scenery; they’re famous for suffering. This fall, we’re bringing that same raw intensity to the Midwest.
The focus will not be on the beautiful backdrops of the golden farm fields and changing leaves. The pristine, tree-lined farm roads a distant memory. This ride is about the UNROAD—those forgotten sectors of broken pavement, grinding gravel, and raw dirt. The sectors will be announced, rated, and the fastest over each individual sector will earn preme prizes.
Richmond IL is positioned at the crossroads of Chicago and Madison, Milwaukee and Rockford. It shares the famous endless fields of grain of Illinois and the slightly rolling cow pastures of southern Wisconsin.
The Courses
The 50mi "Classic" – Our flagship distance. A relentless mix of sectors with varying difficulty. If you want the full "Unroad" experience, this is it.
The 50km (31mi) "Taster" – If you want to see what it's all about, this is your ride.
With your registration we will make a donation to the repair of the old wooden St George Bridge. One of these years we would like to finish riding over it. Also your registration will donate at least 1 pound of food to the Richmond-Spring Grove Food Pantry. You will have an opportunity in the registration add ons to further support these causes.
Please consider purchasing registration insurance for the event. This is the only path to receive a refund or deferral.
