a revolutionary gravel experience

We are Grassroots Gravel

  • Two Challenging Routes

    Whether you are looking for an adventurous day out on the bike or really want to push your limits, we have something for you! You will be treated to smooth dirt, quiet back roads, and some very challenging ancient road sections that will all combine to require you to select your equipment wisely! Leave your road bikes and skinny tires at home, folks!

  • Inclusive, Low-Key Vibes

    The world of gravel is exploding! We now have dozens of massive gravel fondos, races, and even a world championship on the schedule. One thing that sets us apart from them is the lack of “corporate” agendas as this is an event for cyclists, by cyclists! Want to wear your baggies and a full-faced helmet; not a soul will judge you for it! Going full-on roadie with your skinsuit and aero gear; be sure to let us draft you! No matter who you are or what you are into, we are glad to have you riding with us!

  • Spectacular Fall Scenery

    We don’t have to tell you this, but if for some reason you didn’t know, autumn in the foothills of the Berkshires is a beautiful time of year! The routes take riders through thick forests and provide numerous scenic vistas along the way. Multiple photo opportunities abound so be sure to stop for a few moments and take in the scenery and snap a couple of selfies!

We want great men who, when fortune frowns, will not be discouraged
