Gravel riding takes you off the pavement and onto mixed terrain — dirt roads, packed gravel, and everything in between — for a cycling experience that's more adventure than race.
The community is famously welcoming, the scenery is usually worth it, and finishing feels like you actually went somewhere.
Off-road cycling on mixed terrain — pavement, gravel, dirt — for miles. Enjoy the outdoor adventure and welcoming community.
