Revolutionary Ramble 2026

DETAILS

(SLIGHTLY) NEW COURSE FOR 2026!

Tour of High Bridge 2026 Course

Building on last year's course, thanks to some newly paved roads that weren't usable last year, we've added three turns and about 50 meters of finishing straight which eliminates last year's high-speed final turn. This should make the descent and finish more technical, but safer, and, in our opinion, a lot more fun!.

START TIMES: Racing begins at 12:00 pm. All races to follow.

*Estimated start times: Novice Men – 12:00pm II Master 40+ – 12:30 pm II Cat ¾ -- 1:15 pm II Junior (9-18) – 2:00 pm II Women/Non-Binary (All Categories) -- 2:30 pm II Citizens/Family Fun Ride – 3:10 pm II The High Bridge Mile (Running) – 3:30 II Men Pro 1/2/3 – 4:00

THE HIGH BRIDGE “MILE” RUNNING RACE:

Cash prizes and medals will be awarded to the top three male and female finshers.

REGISTRATION: Number pick-up and day of race registration is at the trailer near the start/finish. Day of registration is an additional $10.00. Additional online fees apply.

Join Us for an Epic Day on the Gravel!

The Jersey Gravel Grinder returns in 2026 for another unforgettable ride through the backroads, dirt lanes, and hidden gems of the Garden State. Whether you’re chasing the sunrise or chasing a new PR, this is Jersey’s own gravel adventure — and it’s calling your name.

Early Bird Bonus – Free Custom Jersey!

To thank our amazing community of Adventurers, the next 50 riders to sign up for May 3 event by December 8, 2025 will receive a limited-edition 2026 Jersey Gravel Grinder Bike Jersey — a $75 value, free!

Don’t wait — these will go fast, and you’ll want to be rocking the official look on ride day.

The Ride: Gravel, Grit & Glory

Our signature JGG routes deliver a perfectly mixed all-surface adventure — from smooth tarmac to gritty gravel, rugged dirt, and maybe even a bit of singletrack on the Mega & Mega XL courses. Expect 45%–75% unpaved terrain, all clearly marked with arrow signs at every turn.

Prefer tech over trail signs? You’ll also get free access to our RideWithGPS event account, with downloadable FIT and GPX files, plus visual and audio cues to guide you every pedal stroke.

Ride Your Way – Enduro Style

This isn’t just a race — it’s an experience. Compete for the fastest combined time on timed segments rather than your total ride time. You’ll see clear signage marking the Approach, Start, and End of each Strava segment, so you know exactly when to hammer and when to chill.

Go full gas or soak in the scenery — it’s your adventure, your pace.

Stocked Aid Stations

We’ll keep you fueled and smiling all day long.

Aid Stations every 20–30 miles will be fully stocked with:

• GU Gels & Chews

• Hydration Mix, Water & Coke

• Aid Station 1 features fresh hot pancakes with maple syrup — because every great adventure deserves breakfast on the trail!
