SUMMARY:2025 Waterbury Gravel Grinder
DESCRIPTION:The Gravel Grinder is WATA’s biggest fundraiser and arguably one of the most exciting events we host! We can’t wait to welcome you all back. We’re truly honored and inspired by the incredible turnout\, the resilience\, and the dedication you show year after year\, no matter what weather Mother Nature throws our way. Every dollar raised from this event goes directly to supporting trail building\, maintenance\, and land stewardship at Perry Hill and Little River State Park. These funds also help fuel our long-term vision of connecting WATA trails to other local systems and expanding our network. So\, come join us for an amazing day of riding while helping support the trails you love! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoute Signage: Riders this year will be expected to be more self-sufficient with route following than in previous years! A handlebar-mounted GPS or cell phone synced with your respective route is HIGHLY encouraged. This will help with some of the more confusing turns or where vandalism of route signs has occurred in the past. We will mark certain major intersections and have queue sheets to help with turn by turn directions/mileage if a GPS or cell phone isn’t an option for you. Also\, our guide for any marked arrows is to only follow those arrows on the RIGHT side of the road (no pun intended). \nRoute Links (Options to cover most devices…) \nTBD – Route is still being determined\, stay tuned for the final map \nLocation: The 17th Annual Gravel Grinder will be held at the Mavic US headquarters at 5 pilgrim park in Waterbury Village Historic District! Lots of green space\, tents\, and fun. Routes are still TBD\, keeping you on your toes! \nStart Times: Big Grind Start – 8:30AM | Traditional Grind Start – 9:00AM | Traditional Run Start – Any time preferred (posted or earlier). Big Grind riders must begin the extension no later than 12PM past HQ to ensure that you can make it back in time before we’re cleaned up. \nOnline registration: Includes a limited edition Gravel Grinder t-shirt\, aid stations\, and food and beverage tickets after the event. \n*We will be featuring the “Self-Guided Grind” ride again this year for anyone who might not be able to make the event or aren’t into big group events.  We’ll map out the route for you and have a shirt waiting for local pick-up and you can complete the ride any time you’d like. \nRoutes \nThe Traditional Grinder: TBD – plan for fun! \nThe Big Grind: TBD – plan for fun and adventure! \nRefreshments \nPre-ride breakfast: STAY TUNED – some of your favorite amazing local shops will help get you fueled for the ride. \nOn the ride: We’re still kitting out the mid-ride aid stations\, but we will make sure you are fueled for miles ahead. \nPost-ride refuel: After the ride\, we will be serving up a tasty and satisfying meal in partnership with some of the best local restaurants this side of the Mississippi. They’ve taken great care of us in the past and we’re stoked they’re back this year.  Beverages will be provided by the Vermont Beer Shepherd. \nThis event obviously would not be possible without the many generous sponsors who are donating things to help keep our bellies full\, keep us hydrated or rehydrate us\, last minute mechanical help\, or even just unlimited stoke for the season upon us. WE ALL THANK YOU! \nBig Tree Brewing & The Rez\nVT Beer Shepherd \nMavic\nBike Express\nStone’s Throw pizza\nZen Barn\nFactotum\nVMBA\nBlackcap Waterbury\nMcKenzie Country Classics\nTown of Waterbury \nYour registration gets you a delicious meal and 2 drink tickets. \nWeather: We ride rain or shine – it’s a gravel grinder after all!
