Muddy Onion Spring Classic Gravel Grinder

 2024 MUDDY ONION SPRING CLASSIC GRAVEL GRINDER

p/b Onion River Outdoors

Come out of your winter hibernation for a fully-supported gravel grinder looping many of the amazing dirt roads Central Vermont has to offer! These early spring roads can be challenging, but the views and comradery are definitely worth it. For those who are just getting their bike legs under them, there is a shorter 20-mile loop that will still give you plenty of dirt, mud, fun, and cow sightings, in addition to the longer 40 and 55-mile options.

Mass start for all rides at 9:30am from East State Street.

As always, we will have fully-stocked aid stations with everything you could ever hope for while out on an April gravel ride with all of your friends. Turn-by-turn cue sheets and maps will be available and the courses will be fully marked. 

Cap off your amazing Saturday ride with delicious food and drink (included with entry) at the post-ride party back at Onion River Outdoors! To relive the fun from past rides, check out these amazing photos by John Lazenby.

For anyone wishing to attend only the BBQ after the ride, food/drink tickets are available for a pre-reg rate of $25.

VOLUNTEERS – We need your help in making the 2024 Muddy Onion a complete success! If you have non-riding family or friends accompanying you to beautiful Montpelier for the weekend, please consider in asking them to join the party via signing up for a volunteer slot HERE. Thanks in advance!

PARKING options will be clarified as we approach the 2024 Muddy Onion and on-the-ground marking will designate a few key lots around Montpelier. Parking in metered spots in the core downtown will be strongly discouraged as a courtesy to our fellow businesses. For general reference, public parking can be seen HERE.

Can't wait to see you there!! #muddyonion2024 @muddy_onion #vermontgravel
