A brief preview of what you will be up against
The DP26 is jam-packed with what you love: gravel, climbing, and lot's of it! At 81.8 miles with 9,100 feet elevation gain, 59.4 miles with 6,500 feet elevation gain, or 28.5 miles with 2,900 feet elevation gain, these are tough courses! We have incorporated many classic DP dirt roads and climbs that have defined the event for 11 years, and added a few new ones!
Check out the DP web site for more info!
How it will work
Date: Saturday, June 27: 81.8 miles and 59.4 miles at 7am and 28.5 mile at 9am.
Starting from Norwich Green, 22 Church St, Norwich, VT 05055 and finishing at the Norwich Inn, 325 Main St, Norwich, VT 05055.
We’ll have GPS files (Ride with GPS and Strava) available to download. Be advised, the course will not be marked.
Support: one support stop on the 28.4, three support stops on the 59.4, four support stops on the 81.8
We recommend 30-cc + tires. There will be class IV sections, but the course is generally ridable on a gravel, cross or road bike.

Please join OMS for the Gravel Gallop bike ride on August 2. Riders can start at 8:30 am, but feel free to arrive at your convenience.
We have 3 route options: 9 mile, 32 mile, and 45 mile loops, all
through beautiful Plymouth, VT. The routes have great diversity and some challenging climbs. The start and finish will be at Plymouth State Park. The registration fee includes day use of the park for the whole day. Perfect for swimming in the lake after the ride!
This is a fun, non-competitive, self-guided ride. There are no aid stations or volunteers along the route, so please carry plenty of water and dress appropriately.
ALSO…we are riding on some fine, quiet dirt roads. BUT. We have to be mindful of other users. And there are some sections of road with sketchy washboards. The worst one.. maybe… is descending Old Turnpike towards Rt.103. There are nasty washboards into a sweeping left hand turn then a RR crossing. A wise person once told me…"When in doubt, chicken out" GREAT Mantra
