From the Organizer
The Blood Sugar Rumbler takes you through some of most beautiful areas of The Lewis and Clark National Forest just North West of Helena Montana. This event supports the Montana Youth Diabetes Alliance and their summer camp scholarship fund to help kids get to summer camp. Riders will have two different ride options to choose from, either the Rumbler for 55 miles or the Bumbler for 26 miles.
The Rumbler includes 5,000+ft of climbing within 55 miles of forest services roads and is geared towards the more advanced gravel rider. The climbs are challenging and somewhat technical yet the down hills are worth it.
The Bumbler is 26 miles of an out and back, rolling dirt road that follows the Prickly Pear Creek through a beautiful canyon. This is a great route for anyone just looking for a fun morning out with friends. Both courses will have aid stations with water, Hammer Nutrition products and food.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Gravel riding takes you off the pavement and onto mixed terrain — dirt roads, packed gravel, and everything in between — for a cycling experience that's more adventure than race.
The community is famously welcoming, the scenery is usually worth it, and finishing feels like you actually went somewhere.
Gravel Racing
Off-road cycling on mixed terrain — pavement, gravel, dirt. More adventure than road racing, more accessible than mountain biking.
