Regional Cycling Events

Holidays are over, winter in full swing, and the WAMBA Thursday Night Winter Group rides are ready to return! Here’s the details you need to know to get the most fun out of your fat bike this winter:

State 9 Racing presents to you the Pavement Ends gravel bike race and ride.

Registration includes post race meal inside the Pats Peak Ski Area lodge, professional timing, an awesome marked course and a hell of a good time. 

Course will be revealed as we get closer to the race. Expect 40-50 miles of gravel and some class VI roads. Expect 4,000' or more elevation.

We've added Pavement Ends light. This category is geared towards those that may not have trained as much as they would have liked to over the winter or those that are new to gravel.  

Come out of your winter hibernation for a fully supported gravel grinder covering (almost) all of the amazing dirt roads Central Vermont has to offer. It's not easy, but it's definitely worth it.

The Massochistah is a challenging recreational gravel ride to raise money for youth and adaptive cycling.

We are completely volunteer-run to maximize our support for the expansion and growth of cycling for all people.

Last year we added bikes to our Dandelion Run held on gravel roads through the world-famous Dandelion Fields of Derby, Holland, and Morgan.  It was such a hit that we are bringing it back for another year and inviting runners to join us on the full marathon distance.  It is hilly, challenging, and spectacularly beautiful.  The course is sprinkled with musicians.  So if you're not a racer, but more of a wanderer, you can stop along the way and hear some wonderful music.  Fees include a lunch after the event at the Derby Beach House.

Race will start at 6 a.m. sharp.  Course closes at midnight.  

The course is 150 miles and features 8 mountain gaps with a total of 15,000 feet of climbing.

What to Expect
 

The fifth annual Class VI Classic contains some of the finest class VI roads in and around Etna, NH. Some of these roads are well maintained and frequently traveled, others... not so much. While some of the ride could be mistaken for a pleasant gravel grinder, other parts are unspeakably heinous and simply unrideable. Knowing when it's faster to dismount and walk is a necessary skill to finish the ride. The first year had no finishers (out of seven riders).

The Prouty™ began in 1982 when four Cancer Center nurses, inspired by the courage of their patient, Audrey Prouty, committed to cycling 100 miles through the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

The annual 2-day Prouty Ultimate is an unparalleled ride experience honoring the origin of the event: two days of scenic and fully supported riding through the beautiful New England countryside, meals, and camaraderie. This is the Prouty at its best!

Prouty Ultimate takes place on July 10 & 11 in Hanover, NH.

The Prouty is northern New England’s largest family–friendly fundraising event benefiting Dartmouth Cancer Center–where thousands of cyclists, walkers, rowers, golfers, tennis players, volunteers, and supporters unite for one powerful mission: to end cancer.

The Prouty started in 1982 after four Dartmouth Cancer Center nurses, inspired by their cancer patient Audrey Prouty, rode 100 miles through the White Mountains to honor her journey and raise money for others facing the same battle.

We are excited to return to the “rock pile” for the 53st Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH) presented by Tin Mountain Conservation Center! Tin Mountain Conservation Center is a non profit which provides opportunities to experience nature as the ultimate classroom.

In fact, this summer you have two opportunities to pedal to the top of Mt. Washington!  These event notes are for the main event, the supported, timed, exciting, and not-to-miss festival.

The Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnee was conceived in the 1990's as just a favorite dirt-road loop in the hilltowns of Franklin County, Massachusetts.  Since its birth as an organized event in 2005, many have hailed D2R2 as the hardest, most beautiful, most fun, most traffic-free, most unique, and overall best ride that they have ever done. However, D2R2 will continue to maintain its original character as just a bike ride –

The 11th Annual Rose Mountain Rumble (RMR) takes place Saturday, August 29th, 2026. 

Registration opens 7:00 AM, rolling starts begin 7:30 AM.

Every August, the Race to the Top of Vermont draws hikers, bikers, and runners from across the U.S. and Canada to climb Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. Our course ascends the historic Mansfield Toll Road – 4.3 miles in length and 2,564 feet of up! For some, it’s all about trying to achieve a fast time on this challenging course.

Cabot Ride the Ridges 2026 marks Year 13 of this fantastic gravel grinder, with each and every year better than the last. For returning riders, we continue to have the features that make our event Cabot RTR-special - 4 different gravel distances, beautiful views, friendly volunteers with positive attitudes, wood-fired pizza as the post-ride meal, lots of well-stocked aide stations, laughs, fun, and all to support a great cause.  We will continue to have Cabot RTR merchandise available for pre-sale, as well as day-of purchase (supplies may be limited).
