Conquer forested gravel routes for trail-building impact!

The Butte County Gravel Grind is a gravel bike race taking place in Butte Meadows, California, on July 13, 2025. Hosted by Chico Velo, this event supports the Colby Mountain Recreation Area Project, raising funds for the development of over 40 miles of new trails. Riders choose between challenging courses that wind through scenic mountain forests, enjoy well-stocked rest stops, and are treated to a post-ride meal. The event brings together adventure, community, and meaningful support for regional trail building.

Choose from a Short (35 mile) or Long (50 mile) course traversing gravel roads and forested mountain terrain. Both routes are designed to showcase the natural beauty of the Colby Mountain Recreation Area. Exact elevation details are not specified, but routes are challenging and scenic.
