Rumble in the Ranchlands was an event held on April 8th, 2018, hosted by SuperPro Racing. “Remote river valleys and long, long dirt downhills take you back into the Sierra foothills where the Yosemite River spills out from Yosemite National Park. We worm our way deep, deep into the ranchlands of Mariposa and beyond. Big vistas and dirt roads all day long will bring you back to your country roots. Gravel, decomposed granite and cows galore can be yours on this 70-mile adventure through the backcountry.” – https://www.facebook.com/superproracing/

JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew rode the Rumble in the Ranchlands route a few weeks after its 2018 date, albeit in reverse, and with a POV only camera. In this video, he returns to ride the route again, at least the main loop portion in the proper direction, in the company of his partner, the Lady Gravel Cyclist. Everything about this ride was perfect. The route, weather, scenery and absolute lack of vehicles. Brilliant!
