Rock Cobbler

The Rock Cobbler is a stupidly hard thrill ride bordering on a race. It was conceived by madmen, on barstools late into the night. Gravel Ride? Sorta… 🤠 “Cobbler” planning started in the fall of 2012 on a cow trail when 3 buddies wanted to showcase a very mixed terrain and riding style they loved. Rock Cobbler 1.0 was launched in February of 2013 with 40 riders. Since then, the event's reputation for dishing out a punishing and shenanigan-riddled adventure has grown and attracted riders from literally around the world. Now, in our 13th year, this version shall be no different! The Rock Cobbler also features a Pebbler route and a Boulder route. The Pebbler is a shorter version of the OG, and the Boulder is bigger and longer. All routes are much less of a true gravel event and much more of a wild adventure. The routes vary each year from 70-85ish miles for the Cobbler, 40-50ish miles for the Pebbler, and up to 115 mi for the Boulder. Elevation varies from 3--5000ft 🏔️ for the Pebbler, up to 8700ft 🏔️🏔️ for the Cobbler, and as much as 12,000ft 🏔️🏔️🏔️ for the Boulder. Famous for its vertical hike-a-bike sections, the multi-surface mele’ consists of county asphalt roads, trails, single track, technical challenges, a ridiculous amount of punchy steep climbs, rolling hills, a river, a creek, a cowboy bar, and some creative shenanigan’s thrown in for good times. The Rock Cobbler always presents finishers and attempters with a special gift that is kept secret until the ride is over. 🤫 There are no categories, but we do award the first male and female finisher of each route with an extra special prize
