Gravel Grinder registration is open! Sunday April 10th is the day.

Do you like riding your bike? Do you want to be in shape for the upcoming summer?

Do you like to meet new people? Do you love awesome Mexican food?

The 4th annual Gravel Grinder will not disappoint.

Around 30 miles of riding on some of Central Vermont’s most picturesque  gravel roads will challenge you, and a fabulous post ride feast provided by Frida’s Taqueria will reward you. This is a great ride for most ability levels, and all the proceeds directly support the Perry Hill Trail System.

The course features some tough climbs, speedy descents, and is a mixture of paved and gravel roads. There is a mile or so on busy Route 100, but for the most part, the course is away from the main roads. For the more adventurous rider, an optional “bonus loop” will be available, conditions depending. In years past it has been clear of ice and mud, on others, buried in snow, so that will be announced as the we get closer to the big day.

While we have increased the number of participants once again, we still manage to over sell the event, so don’t be a slacker, sign up today!

  1. I’m there.

  2. Same route as last year?

  3. Not 100% on the route, but it will be a variation of what we have already used in year’s past
