VENUE:
The race will start and finish at Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista, Virginia.
GEAR CHOICE:
Both course options present a lot of elevation and climbing. Come with lots of climbing gear options. This event is a GRAVEL EVENT. You probably will not have fun racing it on a road bike, and we would highly advise against it! The race itself is 20% or less of road. Gravel, Cyclocross, & Mountain bikes are the go to for this event. You'll want some wider tires, especially for the Stoked 60 route. Forst service roads come in all shapes and sizes. The last thing you'll want to do is come with a 25c tire and rim brakes.
CAMPING:
Tent and RV hookup available for purchase through Glen Maury Park. First come first serve. Typically there are a few open RV locations. Details available on the "Your Stay" page for Gravista. 
**There is unlimited Tent Camping throughout the Park. The best locations to tent camp are by the river on the lower area or at the top of the park near the double decker building. Gravista participants camping fee is $25.
