About the Event

This is a 50-something mile gravel road RIDE, not a race. The terrain is all north of the Laurentian Divide. There are no killer hills though there are a lot of undulations in the road. Most of it is noticeably within Superior National Forest but there are a couple of spots that open up to farmland.

It is unsupported. We'll come get you if you break your bike beyond field dressing, or arrange a ride with flashing red lights and sirens if you need one; otherwise, you are on your own. There are no stores or gas stations en-route. The only water available is in the form of lakes and streams. Prepare accordingly.

Lunch/dinner is potluck. Bring a dish to pass if you wish to participate--make sure you label your dish. We'll organize the food while you are on the road. We don't have a lot of chairs, so if you want to sit on something other than the ground, you may want to bring your own.

The Post You've All Been Waiting For!

Here it is, the 2015 Fiddlin' Fifty Gravel Grinder cue sheet!  Those of you who rode last year will notice that it is similar to what you did last year.  We have changed it a little by going further north and by not going quite as far to the south west.  That eliminated a complicated area and decreased the amount of pavement ridden to just a little over 2.5 miles.

If you have problems with this format, send us an e-mail.  We can attach it to e-mail as a Word, Excel, or PDF document.
