There are some new rides planned for this year!

One ride that will be "something" is the 2023 Annual Jean Bertolet Memorial Invitational Century presented by Worldwide Cyclery on May 20th. This is not a gravel ride, but a long doozie of a ride. Mark your calendar and keep an eye out here, GF Instagram, or the Bike Reg page for details as the ride date gets closer.

There are plans to re-ride an unsupported 2022 Gravel Fondo course for no charge in the Tuscarora State Forest this Spring before the heat of summer hits. Details later this winter. Maybe some of you can make it out.

You can’t see these awesome views like this without some climbing. But the downhills are totally worth it too.

Hello everyone, After 5 years in a row putting on this ride on an extremely busy holiday weekend, I’ve decided to put the Gravel Fondo down for a nap this year. 😴

This will give me some much needed time with my family on that holiday weekend, and maybe get some extra rest during the crazy time of year.
Keep riding gravel and we hope to see you in 2019. 😀 -Matt
