Gravel Rides
MVBC offers the following scheduled gravel rides:
Sunday Gravel Rides
These rides are scheduled on selected Sundays from April through October. Each ride features two different speed groups, “party pace” (for riders who enjoy taking their time) and “all business” (for riders with a need for speed). Each group will have a dedicated ride leader.
Wednesday Night Gravel Rides
These rides begin at Osborn Aquatic Center at 6pm and venture into McDonald Forest. They happen year-round.
Special gravel rides
These rides include:
A gravel option on the Midge Cramer Ride (on the third Saturday in May).
Gravel rides to the top of Mary's Peak on Independence Day and Labor Day.
A ride to the Summit Summer Festival (on the third Saturday in August).
Gravel tours
In addition, MVBC offers gravel tours, including the Coast Range Gravel Adventure and Gravel Camps.
More information
All gravel rides are no-drop. For more information see the Ride Schedule. For up-to-date information, kindly join MVBC and subscribe to the MVBC-Announce email list.
If you have questions, please contact ride-info@mvbc.com.
Any modifications to the ride schedule will be made 24 hours in advance. Please check the ride schedule before you head out to confirm.
Each ride has a designated leader and no participant will be left behind. Fast riders are welcome to ride ahead, but they are on their own.
Tires at least 40mm wide are recommended. Wider is better.
Bring your own flat repair kit, a helmet, water, and snacks or lunch.
Everyone should review our Ride Policies. If you are not a club member and want to try one of our rides, please complete the Liability Waiver Agreement.
