About Thank Gravel It's Friday: Far Out Gravel Adventure Series - Ride #1

TGIF Far Out Gravel Adventure Series 2026 5th Annual | Boulder, Colorado Ride #1 — July 25th | Ride #2 — August 29th

The spandex is loud, the haircuts are questionable, and the vibes are immaculate.

Two routes. One big day in the mountains. Zero entry fee. Far Out is back for year five and it's going to be the best one yet.

Choose your adventure — the Spicy Route (~50mi / ~7,000ft) for those who want to push their limits and make the after party, or the Far-Out Route (~100mi / ~10,000ft+) for the ultra-heads and adventure seekers who think suffering is just happiness in disguise. Both routes feature technical singletrack, old mining trails, unnamed mountain roads, and the kind of climbing that makes everything else feel easy for the rest of the summer. Bring your biggest tires and your best 80's costume.

Hit every checkpoint marked with pink ribbon, turn in your pages at the finish, and every finisher receives a custom TGIF top cap and a raffle ticket. Raffle kicks off at 5pm.

Riding for something bigger.

At TGIF, the bike has always been more than a bike. It's been a lifeline, a therapy session, a community, and a reason to get out the door on the days it feels hardest to do so. We know firsthand what riding has done for our mental health — and we want to help others find that same outlet, regardless of what's in their bank account.

This year we're partnering with Ride for Hope to raise money for mental health services in Colorado. All proceeds go directly toward connecting people who can't afford mental health care with the support they need. Because nobody should have to navigate the hard days alone, and getting help shouldn't come with a price tag.

Donate $30 or more and receive the official limited edition TGIF x MiiR Far Out 1-liter water bottle — designed exclusively for this event by Rosie on the Riverbed. Can't make it to Boulder? No problem — we'll ship it to you. A small token of gratitude for doing something that matters, wherever you are.

Donations are never required to ride. They are always welcome, always appreciated, and never taken for granted. If this community has ever given you a good day on the bike, this is a beautiful way to pass it on.

Presented by Canyon Bicycles and Giordana with support from Vittoria · Knog · Better Bolts · Tailwind Nutrition · MiiR · Ride for Hope
