THE RANGE SECTOR CHALLENGE: 2022 Winners were Max Garvey and Christine Barr

We love the classics that always have defining sectors. Sector Challenges can change every year.

In 2023, there is 1 gravel sector that is mainly flat, but comes late in the ride. This is for those that still have the power and a group at the finish.

PIONEER / PERSERVERANCE AWARD: 2022 Winner Dave Lincoln

The Range is not an easy course. It takes a good amount of training and determination to take on The Range.

This award is given to a group or individual that digs deep to get it done.

The award is pretty awesome: The Range Wood Engraved Plaque
