Jersey Gravel Grinder

Join Us for an Epic Day on the Gravel!

The Jersey Gravel Grinder returns in 2026 for another unforgettable ride through the backroads, dirt lanes, and hidden gems of the Garden State. Whether you’re chasing the sunrise or chasing a new PR, this is Jersey’s own gravel adventure — and it’s calling your name.

Early Bird Bonus – Free Custom Jersey!

To thank our amazing community of Adventurers, the first 50 riders to sign up for May 3 event before November 1 will receive a limited-edition 2026 Jersey Gravel Grinder Bike Jersey — a $75 value, free!
Don’t wait — these will go fast, and you’ll want to be rocking the official look on ride day.

The Ride: Gravel, Grit & Glory

Our signature JGG routes deliver a perfectly mixed all-surface adventure — from smooth tarmac to gritty gravel, rugged dirt, and maybe even a bit of singletrack on the Mega & Mega XL courses. Expect 45%–75% unpaved terrain, all clearly marked with arrow signs at every turn.

Prefer tech over trail signs? You’ll also get free access to our RideWithGPS event account, with downloadable FIT and GPX files, plus visual and audio cues to guide you every pedal stroke.

Ride Your Way – Enduro Style

This isn’t just a race — it’s an experience. Compete for the fastest combined time on timed segments rather than your total ride time. You’ll see clear signage marking the Approach, Start, and End of each Strava segment, so you know exactly when to hammer and when to chill.
Go full gas or soak in the scenery — it’s your adventure, your pace.

Stocked Aid Stations

We’ll keep you fueled and smiling all day long.
Aid Stations every 20–30 miles will be fully stocked with:

GU Gels & Chews

Hydration Mix, Water & Coke
Aid Station 1 features fresh hot pancakes with maple syrup — because every great adventure deserves breakfast on the trail!
Aid Station 2 features hot pierogis & pickle juice
Plus More Rider Favorites
All stations include toilets and hand sanitizer for your comfort and convenience.
