release by Festivus of Gravel

June 19, 2025 - Festivus of Gravel 2025 was a huge success! We more than doubled our participant base, now at almost 200 starters, and gathered additional grievances from our riders…last year we had excessive mud, this year it was excessive winds! It wouldn’t be Festivus without grievances!!

Seriously, we couldn’t have done it without our event partners, volunteers and amazing energy from all riders who put a # on their bike and braved the elements. Chapeau to all.
