 It’s
Time for the Gravel Rouser Classic

for spring … an Appalachian thrill ride.

5 p.m., Strouds Run Beach
New trail! Off-camber action and rocks, sure to excite. Race 1.5
miles of singletrack.
Friday: Grab & Git City Scramble
5 p.m., Athens Bicycle
Take a beatin’ from Athens brick to find five checkpoints within
the city limits, then git yer ass to the finish cuz it’s a
party! And don’t forget to dress to impress – it’s
St. Patty’s Day. This event has almost as much to do with luck
as it has to do with cycling prowess. Basically, it’s a crapshoot,
so forget the performance anxiety and come join the fun!
