Hill Climb Time Trial

Hill Climb Time Trial

We’re excited to welcome Twilight Operations back to the bRamble for 2026, bringing another fun and fiercely competitive Hill Climb Challenge. Even better, proceeds from this year’s bRamble will go directly to support Twilight Operations and their work.

Riders can take part in the challenge by choosing either the Wolf Creek Century or the Wolf Creek 75-mile route. The timed segment begins on Siuslaw Road and climbs all the way to the summit of Wolf Creek.

The stats:
2.6 miles • 625 feet of elevation gain • 9.7% average grade

The Prize:
Riders participating will have a chance to compete for the bRamble Purple Polka Dot Jersey and other prizes. Categories will consist of overall mens, womens, and Bike Share.

Looking to make it even more memorable? Riders can opt to tackle the climb using Eugene’s PeaceHealth Rides bike share system—adding an extra layer of grit (and bragging rights) to an already demanding effort. Learn More
