Elbert, CO, United States · Mad Gravel

About this event

Mad Gravel celebrates it’s 6th year! Located south of Kiowa, Colorado, come enjoy the amazing views and high peaks of the Colorado front range. Bring the family, camp, and join us for some amazing racing, live music, daily award ceremonies, cycling tours and kids events. For you Front Rangers of Colorado, driving east is a lot easier on your sanity than heading to the mountains. Why go west!

Take advantage of great camping options Friday, Saturday and Sunday night at the McNeil Ranch at Peaceful Valley. If you haven’t been to this part of Colorado, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Mad Cross on Saturday is new and starts the Cyclo-cross season in Colorado. Racers will navigate a 2-mile course surrounding the massive dining hall and headquarters. An ever popular team relay will be fan favorite after all the waves go off. Sunday brings to you 3 options; the Hemi, Hemi Five-O and the Hemi Hustle. The three course options deliver you epic terrain, punchy climbs, quick descents, wide open spaces, and will take you back to remote and beautiful country in the Colorado Front Range and Elbert County. Oh, and all these events are 100% on gravel and dirt roads! You can expect fully stocked feed zones, custom swag, post-race BBQ (Sunday), live band and killer awards ceremony on the huge deck overlooking the venue.
