Gritus will feel adventurous and you'll have a couple of hefty climbs. The course features nearly 4,700 feet of vertical.
There are some amazing views on the course and it's scheduled during peak foliage. Cyclists are 100% responsible for navigating the course. There will be no directional arrows on the course. We recommend Ride with GPS app and bringing a copy of the cue sheet. There will be one water stop. Entrants will receive Endurance Society swag and finishers will receive a finisher's award. A unique award will be presented to top 3 in each category.
Anyone looking for a greater challenge, we have a 108 mile gravel race in 2026 with 14K vertical!

Just wanted to encourage folks to join a local race in Vermont with a really solid bunch of people. Race director is Andy Weinberg, known for past work on the spartan death race, and current work with "Infinitus" - a 555 mile running race.
I usually come in last place in Gritus, so you are guaranteed to beat me.
