Michaux GRVL

01/06/2026

🎉 Almost another $10k from last year's proceeds were presented to our partners for Bulldog Bike Park and Friends of Michaux State Forest which greatly help these two organizations each year. 👏

Next time you see a kid from the Cumberland Valley ripping past you on a MTB🚵‍♂️ or gravel bike you can probably thank Ralph for providing them the skills and venue they need to succeed with Bulldog. Look out for their Summer series and posts from us to highlight this amazing place for you to bring your kids.. big kids welcome too (you may catch me racing my MTB once a year thanks to Ralph 😆). His place brings out SO many kids who are stoked about bikes. You really need to see it with your own eyes!

Going on a lovely hike or a shred through Michaux State Forest 🌲? You can thank Jen and her crew for keeping the trails in top shape, using tools to prevent erosion on the trails, repairing bridges, and providing the dirty work to keep things nice.

While costs continue to rise for us 📈, we're so happy we can continue to contribute to these folks. With our new increase of event size (up to 350 riders) from DCNR, we are excited to continue to grow. We're adding another beneficiary to the mix with the Franklin County Cyclists as they beef up our aid station near Teaberry - we heard that the 100 miles need some more fuel!

🙏 Thank you to our amazing racers, riders, volunteers, and sponsors who help keep us going. Continue showing up and making Michaux GRVL a rising event in Pennsylvania's growing gravel scene. Many events in our region, even several on the same weekend, and we hope you continue to support us so we can support our partners!

HUGE shout out to all of our women who showed up to absolutely destroy 💪 their respective races! We love seeing our local legends from around the Cumberland valley show up and show that they OWN Michaux 🌲. Each year we're so grateful to round out a full podium of women's racers who can ride a bike on gravel way better than I can. Y'all rule.

AI sucks so much it's funny.

We're officially sold out! Thank you to everyone for making this our best year yet! We have opened up our wait-list on Bikereg. If riders are not checked-in 10 min prior to the event we will pull folks from the wait-list into registration. See you tomorrow!

The gravel is looking good, the forecast even better. Expecting a little bit of rain this week to pack down some of the loose dust we've seen and make our course prime for some great conditions. Are you registered? Friday is our cut-off! We hope to see you there!

Make sure you register before you head out or you'll incur higher reg fees starting tomorrow. Our promotion with Monolith Performance also ends tonight! So get in here and register! 8 days to go before we party.

The road racing season is officially done and dusted and we're fully stoked to have you join us in Michaux State Forest for a full day of gravel goodness.Gather around the campfire the night prior and come up with your plan on how you'l spend your epic day in the forest. Come in with that post-season road fitness and give it some gas on our course, or use this as a great way to "'simmer-down" in September and take in the scenery while enjoying our scavenger hunt and spending a little extra time at our aid stations! See you in a few short weeks!
