The following is a brief description from the Gritventure! Event promoter:
Element Adventures is proud to present Gritventure!, an adventure ride based out of our Element Adventures West Camp in Augusta, WV. Featuring gravel roads, stiff climbs, and backcountry riding, this ride will bring out the little kid in you! With three route options to choose from, you’ll find the perfect challenge. (74, 57, 27 mile options)
This will be a true gravel adventure with no route markings and minimal SAG. Download the GPX files so you can navigate the route (Cue sheets will also be provided). There will be no aid stations set up, though there will be bars and gels available at the ride start to throw in your jersey pockets to take with you. You’ll need to carry enough water with you to last the ride or refill at stores or spigots found along the way. Be prepared with flat changing tools and spare tubes, as gravel can be rough on tires. Take a cell phone, but be aware that service can be spotty. This ride will go rain or shine, so if the forecast is cold and wet, be sure to dress appropriately!
