New to Gravel Riding? Green Gravel Rides start April 19 2025

Are you newer to gravel, or are you looking for a less technical or slower paced gravel ride? MIVA’s Green Gravel rides are a great way to grow your skills and legs in a supportive, no-drop group format, meaning we'll regroup to make sure no one gets left behind. Green Gravel rides will start April 19, check our calendar for dates, meeting locations, and routes.

Routes will generally include gravel roads with surfaces appropriate to grow your skills without being too overwhelming. Routes are best enjoyed on a gravel bike with tires 38mm or larger. More seasoned gravel riders are welcome, but please do not push the pace. If you are frequently finding yourself off the front, go back and ride alongside or behind the slowest rider.

Rides can include remote areas without vehicle access or cell service. Riders are expected to be prepared for longer rides, carrying supplies for basic mechanicals, fuel and hydration.

This ride requires MIVA membership. Join here, or or you can try two MIVA events with signed waivers. Waivers can be found on the "About Us" page: either print, sign and bring along, or fill it out and email to miva.board@gmail.com
