Grateful Gravel is the proud creation of Deadhead gravel bike riders from the Mad River Valley, combining their love of long bike rides and music festivals into one long strange event. Two entertainment endeavors that collide to move you brightly. Grateful Gravel provides a challenging cycling event featuring some of Vermont's most picturesque landscapes and gravel roads that segues into a face melting gathering of community and friends to enjoy the song catalog of Hunter, Garcia, and the rest of the Grateful Dead.

The day begins with a 21, 46, or 63 mile gravel ride that makes your legs scream louder than Donna Jean during a mid-70’s Playing in the Band. An epic after party at Cousin's Brewing starts at 2:00 PM with music, food, beverages, and bar games. Weather-permitting, we'll have an outdoor stage and beer garden on the beautiful lawn out back.

All riders can refuel after the ride with a small meal provided by Silk Road and a beer compliments of Cousin's Brewing. Additional food and beverage will be available for purchase.
