From the Organizer
The Overland is a 55-mile (distances fluctuate based on years/course) dirt road bicycle ride featuring close to 7,000 feet of climbing, eight sectors of Class4 Roads (unmaintained ancient public through-ways), two sag stops, a magnificently scenic route and an awesome party afterwards. It’s the ultimate overland adventure ride. Open dirt roads, amazing scenery and an epic course unlike any you’ve ever ridden before, all within a beautiful Vermont pastoral setting.
The purpose of this race is to promote the wonderful world of overland adventure riding and to benefit the Reading/West Windsor Food Shelf, Ascutney Outdoors and WAMBA–all integral organizations in the event’s host towns of Reading/West Windsor/Woodstock.

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.
