Down for Gravel

Date: Sunday, September 7, 2025

Location: 101 Applegate Lane, West Newfield, Maine

Event Overview:

Down for Gravel is a gravel cycling event that brings riders together for a challenging and rewarding day on the backroads of western Maine. The start and finish are situated on the picturesque Mirror Lake, providing a scenic backdrop for the day’s ride. Routes wind through forest roads, rolling terrain, and offer stunning views—including glimpses of Mount Washington on clear days. Whether you’re looking to push your limits or enjoy a solid day of riding with great company, this event is all about community and the shared experience of gravel cycling.

Riders can choose from multiple route options to match their goals for the day. Each course is designed to provide a mix of smooth gravel, rugged sections, and plenty of climbing. The ride is untimed—this is about the experience, not the results.

Saturday Cyclocross & Camping:

The weekend kicks off on Saturday with a cyclocross race, offering fast-paced action and a great opportunity to warm up or spectate before Sunday’s big ride. Riders are encouraged to camp on-site Saturday night to soak in the atmosphere, connect with fellow cyclists, and make the most of the weekend. The event setup includes a large open field with plenty of space for camping and parking, creating a festival-like setting leading up to race day.

Post-Ride Gathering:

After the ride on Sunday, stick around to share stories, enjoy wood-fired pizza, and relax with a cold beer from Frost Brewing. A post-ride swim in Mirror Lake is highly recommended—there’s no better way to cool down after a long day on the bike.

Location & Accessibility:

West Newfield is conveniently located about an hour’s drive from Portland, Maine, and less than two hours from Boston, making it an easy weekend getaway for gravel riders from across the region.

Registration:

Sign up to secure your spot. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged.

Pinebury is proud to support Down for Gravel, helping to create an event that brings people together over a shared love of gravel riding, adventure, and fun.
