2025 Dirty Lemming - Moving West....

Be part of the longest running free gravel ride in the world...  

According to ChatGPT....   "Based on what we know, The Dirty Lemming (est. 2011) appears to be the longest-running free-entry gravel race still in existence. While events like the Almanzo 100 (2007) were free for many years, they either changed organizers, introduced entry fees, or stopped running. Since the Dirty Lemming has remained free and continuous since its start, it holds the title for the longest-running free gravel race."

Unfortunately, due to some schedule conflicts, Deb and Garry are unable to host the 2025 Dirty Lemming on their farm in Brownton, MN.

I am working on organizing a Dirty Lemming Western Edition Ride in Summit County Colorado on Wednesday July 23rd.  Yes, that is not a weekend date, but the traffic on Boreas Pass is a bit crazy in July on weekends.   Will involve climbing up and over the gravelly Boreas Pass roads.  

This will be a casual but hard ride, not a race.   With a re-group for lunch in Hartzel for the long distance riders.

Hartzel and back - ~90 miles - ~6000 feet of climbing

Registration involves sending me an email and bringing a non-perishable item or two to the start for the FIRC food shelf.   

We are limiting the ride to 15 vehicles (to encourage car pooling) and/or 20 riders.  The first 20 riders who confirm before July 1st will get a custom Lemming T-Shirt.

Stay tuned for more details.  If you have questions or are interested in riding with us drop me a note:  Jim@dirtylemming.com
