Raven Rock Ramble 2002


A successful first riding

166 intrepid riders braved the cool, gray morning for the inaugural ride of the Raven Rock Ramble. Of those who indicated a distance, 40 cyclists rode the full century, 71 took the metric, and 26 opted for the 50K. Consensus: the routes were good, the road markings excellent, the hills bigger than advertised, and the food fantastic.  Over $3000 was raised for the National Kidney Foundation.

Tom Sheffield, of North Raleigh Road Dog fame, wrote a review of the event at http://www.ncbikeclub.org/ride_summaries/Raven_Rock_Ramble.htm.

Blake Lambert, one of the in-line skaters, posted numerous photos he took at http://roadskater.dynu.com/rav2002/index.htm.
