Rust Buster
One-day cycling event in Memphis offering a 50‑mile road fondo and 45‑mile gravel fondo with Strava KOM/QOM contests and a post-ride expo
Not Your Average Race, FER SURE! We’ve taken the concept of a traditional bike race and turned it on its head. You won’t get a ride like this anywhere else.
2024 Rust Buster Great Races With the 50-mile road fondo and 45-mile gravel fondo to choose from, you’ve got options. We’re catering to all cyclists of all levels at the Rust Buster 2024.
All-Star Leads The local Memphis Porsche club is leading the road ride and our 901 motocross club is leading the gravel ride. Try catching up to THAT!
Exceptional Hospitality No fig newton and warm Gatorade snack stations here. We’ve got vendors coming in from all over to offer some of the best food you’ve seen at a race. Down to the 2-ply toilet paper, you’ll experience hospitality at its finest at the Rust Buster 2024.
Post-Ride Action When it’s all said and done, we won’t just leave you hanging. Each course will have a Strava segment with awards going to the KOM and QOM of the day. After that, we’ve got a post-ride expo with our sponsors and, of course, the after-party at Purlieu.
