Old Fashioned Gravel Race Description

The Old Fashioned Gravel ride/race is a new event coming at you in 2024! We are fortunate enough to have some of the best gravel riding in the Midwest and have put together four routes to show off the local terrain. As with all of our rides, we offer a little bit of everything and welcome EVERYONE from novice riders to the most seasoned racers. The focus of the ride is to bring like-minded individuals together for a great ride, but we will have professional timing so if you want to race we will have you covered too! Routes that will satisfy all of your gravely desires, and a post-ride gathering with food, drink, and hangs with new friends. Awards, raffle, and prizes (everything from ridiculous to awesome) to follow the ride!

We will introduce an awesome new venue in Hokah Minnesota, a rustic farm nestled in a scenic coulee. While the ride is about riding with other rad people like yourself, rest assured a portion of your entry fee will go to a local entity that could use a little financial help. If we can have a super fun time while helping others, that is what will make this a successful event. We will also be using local businesses to feed and hydrate us. Hokah is a super cool little town, and we would love to help keep our money local.

All routes will leave and finish at the farm. The gravel is approximately two miles from the start line, and one mile of that is a paved climb, once you are on the ridge, the dust shall start flying! All routes will descend this paved section upon return to the finish line.

Unfortunately, we are not offering refunds for this event.

Erin Sullivan's Review

I had a spectacular time. Being able to sleep in my car in the pasture was very helpful due to high prices of hotel rooms at that time. The organization of the event was great. The course was challenging yet beautiful.

Carolyn Franzone's Review

Everything was excellent! Only glitch was that I was dropped on the shake out ride and got lost because one of the directions on the cue sheet was wrong. My mistake that I didn’t have my lights with me, but I didn’t know the distance until we met in the parking lot. Fortunately, I had cell service & got a ride back to the farm.

Most enjoyed a true gravel experience highlighting MN rolling farmland, barns and bluff views. Gathering in farm field pre and post race was an added bonus
