This is the inaugural year of Mad Gravel and we expect it to be one of the most challenging gravel events on the calendar. Three course options are sure to bring you epic roads, punchy climbs, quick descents, wide open spaces, and will take you back to remote and beautiful country in and around Elbert County. Starting from Peaceful Valley Boy Scout Ranch south of Kiowa, Colorado, riders will be challenged for sure, but still enjoy the amazing views and high peaks of the Colorado front range. That alone is worth the price of admission!  As one of the first gravel races on the Colorado calendar, you will be glad you participated in this fully supported and ultra-scenic race
