Walla Walla Grit

Is it a race, or a ride?

It could go either way. You are given a number and timed, so it might be a race. With three stunning routes and plenty of well-stocked aid stations, it could be a ride.

Is it a challenge to find the perfect bike, or a challenge to be the most under-biked?

Be ready to push your bike to the limit. The grit course will make you question the line between gravel riding and mountain biking, and find the balance between comfort and speed.

With years of experience running the Tour of Walla Walla stage race, Michael and Kathryn Austin have taken to the gravel racescene like ducks to water. With a route co-designed by Matt Faunt, you're (almost) guaranteed to have a good time.
