Vermont Cycling Clinic’s Gravel Weekend will bring together all the best parts of gravel into one packed weekend in a state that has more gravel roads than paved! Led by the regions most passionate coaches and mentors, we’ll take the time to teach technical gravel skills, have mechanic workshops, and a suite of choose-your-own talks on finding and growing community, bike packing, nutrition, endurance, facing fears, navigation, and more.

For those who’ve been riding gravel for a while, we’re adding a training camp group that will focus on building miles throughout both weekend days. These groups will be led by current and former pro riders including Liz Wolf, Joanne Grogan, and Erin Faccone.

Participants will be grouped by experience level with lessons and progressions scaled for beginner to advanced riders. Our goal is that everyone comes away from the weekend with increased confidence riding the many road and trail surfaces gravel presents, with new knowledge on how to care for your bike and yourself as a cyclist, and with a cohort of new riders to call your friends.

Born from her years directing the Rooted Vermont Women’s Clinics and Race, Kristin Motley’s compassionate leadership is once again at the helm of curating this all-inclusive weekend. Wherever you are in your journey as a cyclist is just the right place. Our goal is to meet you where you’re at and cultivate an atmosphere where you feel safe to learn.

The clinic is open to women, trans, femme, and non-binary riders.
