The Old Fashioned Gravel ride/race strives to deliver top-tier gravel cycling experiences in the Midwest. Featuring four meticulously planned routes that showcase the region's diverse terrain, this event caters to riders of all levels, from beginners to seasoned racers. While the primary goal is to foster camaraderie among like-minded individuals, professional timing is also provided for those inclined to compete. The routes are designed to fulfill all gravel riding aspirations, followed by a post-ride gathering featuring food, drinks, and opportunities to connect with fellow riders. Participants can also look forward to awards, raffles, and prizes ranging from quirky to extraordinary.

This year, the event introduces a captivating new venue in Hokah, Minnesota—a picturesque farm nestled in a scenic coulee. While the event centers on enjoying the ride with other enthusiasts, a portion of the entry fees will support a local cause in need of financial assistance. Combining enjoyment with altruism makes this event truly fulfilling. Additionally, the event is committed to supporting local businesses for refreshment needs, contributing to the vibrant community of Hokah.

All routes will commence and conclude at the farm. The gravel section spans approximately two miles from the starting line, with a one-mile paved climb. Once atop the ridge, participants can prepare for an exhilarating gravel adventure, descending the paved section upon returning to the finish line.
