Registration ClosedGravel CuriousSunday, June 22, 20258:30 AMA noncompetitive option designed as an introduction to adventure cycling. This event is ideal for those looking for a taste of the gravel cuisine. Plan on an extended climb taking riders up about 1900 ft above Gypsum, to some of the most breath taking vistas in the valley. A nice long downhill brings riders back in to town to round out this 20 mile ride. E-bikes are allowed on this course!
