Blue Ridge Extreme Gravel

The Blue Ridge Extreme Gravel (BREG) ride is a very unique event which will test the strength and skill limits of most gravel riders and also push the limitations of their bikes.  This ride starts and finishes at the Blue Ridge School in beautiful St. George VA about 30 minutes northwest of Charlottesville. The most unique component of BREG is the ride begins and finishes with a couple miles of smooth  “gravel bike friendly” single track. Sandwiched in between this fun single track riding experience will be some intense and technical gravel riding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There will be long climbs on unpaved roads with VERY steep grades and a few unpaved descents that will definitely challenge the skills of even the most seasoned gravel bike riders. However, there will also be sections of gravel on gently rolling terrain in the beautiful foothills of the mountains. In short the BREG will offer everything from one extreme to the other! The gravel routes will have a rest stop with food, drink and mechanical support at miles 22 and 39 and a post ride meal will be provided.

NOTE: This event is not recommended for novice gravel riders and is not suitable for road bikes with wider tires. Gravel specific bikes with tires widths of 35mm or greater are highly Recommended. Mountain bikes could be used for any of the BREG routes.
