Jersey Gravel Grinder Deux

By popular request - YES - we're going to hold a Fall edition of our beloved Jersey Gravel Grinder in 2025!

As is our usual routes will be different from the Spring edition. We love showcasing all the incredible gravel riding in the region in different ways.

In an Enduro/Grand Fondo style, you'll be competing for the fastest combined time for specific timed segments, rather than complete ride time. There wil be Men and Women Age Group categories for MEGA & ADVENTURE routes (29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69and 70+) and overall winners for SOUL.

There will be Timed Race Segments for all routes. There will be signage to let you know when to start going full out and for when you've completed each timed section.  You can choose to either ride the whole route all out or chill out and enjoy the scenery and just hammer the competitive timed sections.

Routes will feature a perfectly mixed all surface ride including plenty of dirt, gravel and paved roads plus optional singletrack (Mega) in the two longer routes. Courses will be well marked with Arrow Signs and all racers will have access to our Ride With GPS Group and ability to route directly from the App on your phone or download GPX/FIT file to load on your bike computer. Access to the RSGA Group and using Ride With GPS with turn by turn and segment audio cues is included with registration.

Aid Stations

There will be well stocked Aid stations for al routes. All will have GU or Skratch Hydration mix, Water and GU Gels. We will also have a mix of other food and drink items including Granola Bars, PBJ, Pickle Juice, Coke and more! Aid Station 1 will feature our famous pancakes and real maple syrup.

Routes

Each year we tweak the routes, but plan is for 50% or more gravel in all of them.

Here is anticipated mileage and elevation:

Mega Gravel  100 Miles with 7,400 Feet Elevation Gain
Adventure Gravel 62 Miles with 4,400 Feet Elevation Gain
Soul Gravel 28 Miles with 1,600 Feet Elevation Gain
Final route and Strava segments will be revealed close to race day.

We're asking that no one heads out prior to their start time as it impacts aid stations and traffic control at key intersections. All routes will start and end in Bedminster, NJ.

Routes

Below are the routes from 2024 to give you a feel for the mileage and elevation in each route.

The 2025 edition of the Deux will be different including some OG sections that haven't been included in recent years.
