RAMROD 2012 - Thursday July 26th
RAMROD [Ride Around Mount Rainier in One Day] is the Pacific Northwest's premiere one-day ultra-marathon cycling event. It combines the incomparable scenery of Mount Rainier National Park with a challenging course featuring 10,000 feet of climbing over 152 miles. The course begins in Enumclaw, WA and takes riders through the rolling hills near Eatonville, Elbe and Ashford before entering the Mount Rainier National Park. You'll be challenged by three climbs: a 12 mile ascent to Inspiration Point (4,850 ft), the 3 mile Backbone Ridge climb and the challenging 9-mile Cayuse Pass ascent (4,694 ft). Join us for another great edition of this classic ride - it will be the best RAMROD ever.
 

RAMROD's Theme of Remembrance for 2012
RAMROD is a celebration of riding and the beauty of Mount Rainier and is only possible through many volunteers and coordination from the Mount Rainier National Park Service. Recent events have brought a somber tone to our preparations for RAMROD 2012. On December 8, 2011 a great friend of RAMROD, Gene Underwood, passed. Gene and his wife Fran are HAM radio operators and have been a major part of RAMROD for most of its 29 years of operation. On January 1, 2012 a lone gunman shot and killed Park Ranger Margaret Anderson. The shooting occurred on Paradise Road in Mt. Rainier National Park. Margaret's courageous actions in confronting and blocking the gunman from advancing protected the lives of about 100 visitors at Paradise.
