Event organizer

Graveleur

Graveleur is a cycling community drawn together by one thing – back road exploring. Our purpose is to build Australia’s gravel community. This is a movement – not a race – it is about enjoying the ride and stopping occasionally to soak in the atmosphere. Graveleur is about the journey, not the destination. We encourage each other to explore gravel and unsealed roads across Australia to find new adventures and to see new places. Graveleur embraces this spirit of adventure and anyone is welcome to join. We run two events annually, Thunderbolts Adventure in Fall (1st weekend in May) and Clarkes Gambit in Spring (last weekend in October)
