Join several hundred fellow riders to welcome back the return of mountain bike season with a 25+ mile ride on the scenic unpaved back roads of Waterbury and Waterbury Center. Views of Camels Hump and Mount Mansfield are a near constant on this fully supported ride with the usual aid stations, plus a few extra fun twists (did somebody say bacon and bourbon?). After the ride we welcome in the new season of riding with food from Waterbury’s own Blackback Pub, and of course beers and beverages will be provided.

The Gravel Grinder is WATA’s largest fundraiser for the year and all proceeds from registrations go directly to maintaining and developing new mountain bike trails at Putnam State Forest  (Perry Hill) and Little River State Park.
