Race Description
The Dusty Bandita is set to take place on June 7, 2025, in Ovando, Montana. This unique gravel race aims to empower women in the cycling community by promoting participation in a traditionally male-dominated sport. With routes designed for both competitive racers and adventurous cyclists, event organizers encourage participants to step outside their comfort zones and embrace the thrill of the ride.
Participants can choose between two challenging distances, approximately 45 miles and 80 miles, both featuring significant elevation gains. Registration for the event includes race entry, a goody bag with sponsor items, post-race food provided by Chef Liz Kenyon, and the chance to win exciting raffle prizes. The event emphasizes building camaraderie among women cyclists while exploring the scenic routes of Montana.
