Annual Galloping Goose 50 Mtb Challenge


  • Cuyuna Lakes Mountain Bike Crew Ironton, MN United States (map)

🪿 You love to see it. The Galloping Goose 50 is back for 2026!

Mass starts are hard to fit into busy schedules, so we built a challenge that works on yours. From September 24 to October 24, it’s just you and the Goose. Ride 50 miles of Galloping Goose in a single calendar day. Nothing more. Nothing less. Bring friends or ride solo. Dumb? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely.

RULES:
→ Ride ONLY Galloping Goose. Do NOT ride Switchback. You must follow this route:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31718136

→ Your 50 miles must start and finish on the same calendar day. This means approximately 50 miles of only Galloping Goose, ridden consecutively in a single recorded activity. You may ride before or after, but the Goose miles must be their own continuous segment.

→ When you finish, screenshot your ride using Strava, Garmin, a bike computer (Wahoo, etc.), iPhone, iWatch, or any recording device.

→ Your screenshot must clearly show the route, mileage, ride time, and date.

→ Fill out this form [COMING SOON] and upload your screenshot along with your name and email address.

→ Emails will be sent each Monday to GG50 finishers with a link to finisher merch available for purchase. A portion of all merch proceeds goes back to the Crew.

💡 Pro tip: Strava has a FREE account you can use to record right from your phone if you don’t have another device.

Reminder: We need your personal screenshot. Charge your watches, Garmins, Wahoos, Yahoos, thingamabobs, whatever you’re using. If you don’t send us your final miles in a screenshot, your ride won’t count. Riding with a buddy, even if it shows up on Strava, doesn’t count as your own data.

An end-of-season mtb party will be announced.
