Winston County Gravel Cup Race Description
Details:
Whether you choose the 25-, 40-, 60-, or 100-mile route, you will not be disappointed with the unique experience this ride will provide. Mainly gravel, with only a touch of pavement, you will travel through wooded lanes, challenging climbs, and open valleys to discover the incredible views this area has to offer.
This ride is whatever you make of it... whether you choose to set a personal record or a personal goal to finish, all riders of all skill levels are welcome to join us September 23th. If you want to race, go nuts. We will be timing the event. If you want to go for a fantastic ride with friends, also, go nuts. This is about having a good time.

Gorgeous Ride
I did the 40 mile ride in 2021 and had so much fun that I signed up for the 60 miler for 2022. The views were insanely beautiful. I loved that the ride included such a diverse group of people and athletes of varying abilities. You can race or you can just ride, with no judgement...as it should be! The event organizers are the shizz, and I appreciate them bringing us this super smooth, super fun, pure, unfiltered gravel ride!
