Raid Lamoille was created way back in 2012 by the fertile minds at GRVL Cycling as a gravel ride to share with our friends. Since then it has become a must-do for serious gravel cyclists.
In 2018 we moved from Stowe to Craftsbury and for 2019 we’re coming back to our “new” venue, with the routes (25 and 50-Miles) remaining principally the same. See the Course page fr more info. On either loop we’ll take through the Vermont countryside, down twisty descents, by mountain streams and serve up a heaping helping of some of the best gravel riding to be found anywhere. Did we mention hills? Oh, we’ve got quite a few of those for you too!
Our post-ride celebration is renowned. We’ll again will have a fantastic spread of victuals provided by the Craftsbury General Store and ice cold beer from our friends at The Alchemist Brewery.
Say Lamoille like a local, “lah-moyle”, and sign on to ride!
How: The ride may be conducted on a properly prepared bicycle (see Tech page).
Route: Long and Short Routes both marked with arrows at critical intersections and GPX files, cue sheets will be provided (see Course page).
Support: We will have a tech at the Start and some limited sweep but, otherwise, this ride is essentially self supported – plan accordingly (including packing some cash for provisions along the way!) NOTE: there are well-stocked country stores situated along the routes.
Celebrate: Our post-ride activities will include great grub washed down with locally-crafted brews from The Alchemist!
Sleep: Looking for lodging – contact the Craftsbury Outdoor Center for some sweet Raid Lamoille deals!
