May in the Northern Blues...
We often get asked why the Grit is in September—especially with most gravel events in spring. A big reason? Route access. While our Bambino and Medio top out at 3,277 ft, the Grande climbs to 5,844 ft and spends ~30 miles above 5,000 ft. Snow can linger (even after Memorial Day), and we were reminded of this while hiking up Tiger Canyon this weekend, just a stone's throw away from the Grande route. High alpine gravel is part of what makes the Grit so unique. See you in September.

IT'S GONNA BE MAY.

That's right folks, May is here and the Walla Walla Valley is showing off her beauty. Last week we shared the thermal jersey designs for the 2026 edition of the Grit. This week, we're excited to announce that all registrations in the month of May will be entered into a drawing for a FREE THERMAL JERSEY. All you have to do is register between today and 11:59pm May 31st and you're in. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

See wallawallagrit.com to register and for more event info. Unpaved. Unforgiving. Unforgettable.

The thermal jersey for the 2026 Walla Walla Grit is officially available! And in our (obviously biased) opinion, we crushed the design.

This jacket is warm enough to start early, and stylish enough to sip the post-ride latte with your pinky out.
Preorder only. Add it with your event registration or forever hold your peace. Register at bikereg.com/walla-walla-grit

Did you catch the Paris-Roubaix over the weekend? Hundreds of the best pro cyclists lined up on Saturday (Femmes) and Sunday for the infamous cobblestone sectors of the "Hell of the North." There were mechanicals, flats, bike changes. It was everything you'd expect from a demanding course.

We like to think the Walla Walla Grit takes a page out of this book. Our routes are challenging, and your bike may scream at you. (Your legs certainly will!) It's no coffee ride, and that's the point. But we'll have coffee, snacks, and gear to keep you and your bike as comfy as possible. If you haven't already, head to wallawallagrit.com to register and for more info.

Tires. We get a lot of questions about what tires are best for the Grit routes. We recommend 40mm tires for the Bambino and Medio, but for the Grande 95miler we suggest 42-50mm. The surfaces are demanding, especially during the descents, and standard road bike tires are simply not up to the task. Most riders go for a gravel-specific bike, but each year we have a number of riders opt to ride an XC mountain bike instead. Whatever you choose, you're in for an unforgettable ride.

That dusty descent? It’s got your number. Lock in your spot for the Walla Walla Grit before prices increase on March 1. Head to wallawallagrit.com to register and for more info.

Register at wallawallagrit.com before 11:59pm on February 28th and get $10 off registration for any course.
