Hey all you gravel monsters out there, we heard you! This year's challenge includes a gravel route that shares the same start and finish. Some of the route will be the same as the MTB route and some will be a challenge of its own. This isn't a gravel spin, this is a gnarly grinder so pull up your panties if you're up to the challenge.

MTB or Gravel?

We heard you, you gravel monsters! 

The Gravelmore Challenge is here, full or half send, either way it's gonna' hurt!  Chunky, funky, an all of the above gravel challenge, are you up to it? 

Course Details

Race, Ride, Adventure, Hardo or Party Pace, it's your call!

Get ready for a true backcountry mix of gravel, singletrack and a little paved spinning. You'll start with a casual gravel climb by the Sawyer River, passing by the remnants of the historic Livermore logging camp and settlement. This leads to the old RR bed taking you over the height of land into the Rob Brook area next to the Swift river. Now we get into some singletrack for a bit before some more gravel heading toward Bear Notch rd. aid station. Classic old school singletrack brings you to the Albany covered bridge. This is the half way point and finish for the Half Send. If you're going Full Send, there's a good recovery spin on some pavement before you enter the West Side trails in the lower moats. Spin on through the High St. aid station and roll into the woods again. The West Side delivers the goods, singletrack palooza all the way to the finish.

This is a point to point race. We recommend that you have someone with a support vehicle for transport to and from the start and finish. There will be shuttles available as well, timing will vary depending on needs and routes.

Mass start at the bottom of Sawyer River rd.

Start time 9:00 AM for all categories.
