Pure Colorado gravel. Big climbs, bigger views, and the kind of backcountry riding that leaves dust on your legs and stories for days. Rolling out from Town Hall of Gypsum, these courses string together remote forest roads, fast canyon sectors, chunky doubletrack, and high-alpine terrain that demands grit.
This is not champagne gravel. Expect loose corners, punchy pitches, washboard climbs, ripping descents, and long stretches where it’s just you, your bike, and the mountains.
Gravel bike or Mountain bike - choose your weapon. These routes reward smart tire choice, steady legs, and a willingness to get a little rowdy. Whether you’re chasing a podium or testing your endurance engine, both courses will deliver a full-value day in the saddle.
