IRR strips away every layer of a person until they are just themselves. There is no more posturing.

First, the Irreverent Road Ride is unlike any other gravel grinder/adventure ride/road ride or whatever you'd like to call it. Period. IRR is more than just a bike ride; it's the embodiment of an ideal, a sense of adventure, a test of mind, body, and will. And while every ride should be a little irreverent, not every ride can or should be this IRREVERENT. To paraphrase Sean Burns (pro-BMX rider), "You can't ride like a dead man every day."

Irreverent Road Ride is about finding out what else...? What else is out there? What else is left in your legs? What else can you see today? What else can you do?

IRR is truly much more than a gravel grinder. It is above and beyond the single most challenging dirt road ride you can sign up for. #truestory. It will test your legs (obviously), but also your equipment and your will to carry on. The Slow Ride Podcast recently quipped that in gravel racing, anything behind first place doesn't matter (true) and that the winner's name should be recorded in a dusty notebook that is squirreled away at the town library. This suits us just fine.
