Ruby Roubaix 2025: Ride for a cause

The countdown to Ruby Roubaix 2025 is officially on—and this year, the ride means more than ever. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Elko Desert Sunrise, the Ruby Roubaix Gravel Fondo is more than just a cycling event—it’s a powerful fundraiser for local youth leadership and education programs.

What Is Ruby Roubaix?

Ruby Roubaix is a premier gravel bike race that starts in the scenic town of Lamoille, Nevada, and winds through the breathtaking Ruby Valley. Riders choose from four distances—22, 38, 62, or 120 miles—each route offering a mix of challenge, adventure, and unforgettable views. On June 28, 2025, over 200 cyclists will gather to ride for a purpose: to empower local youth and invest in the next generation of leaders.

Riding for a Reason

Proceeds from Ruby Roubaix help fund life-changing opportunities for youth in our region. Thanks to generous community support and sponsor involvement, last year’s event helped the Rotary Club of Elko Desert Sunrise:

• Sponsor six students for Rotary youth leadership camps in Portola, California

• Award $6,500 in scholarships to students pursuing college or technical education

• Host an international exchange student from Italy

Every dollar raised goes right back into building brighter futures for the youth of our community.
