Baker City Gravel Excursion

October 2-6, 2025

If you are seeking an adventurous gravel scouting trip…this may be the multiday gravel event for you! Travel to Baker City for three days to enjoy some great off road/gravel cycling!

We travel Oct 2 to Baker City. Ride Oct 3, 4, 5. Then drive back home the 6th.

The success of your event experience depends upon being prepared for a rural gravel biking excursion. You will need to have a working bike and understand navigation (which means you have the routes downloaded to either a phone or a bike computer). You should be a self sufficient cyclist. Be prepared for unpredictable Eastern Oregon weather. Have needed repair kit items with you. Check the weather conditions ahead of the trip and pack accordingly. We do not have a sag vehicle, and we will not have water or food stops available to us along the way. You need to understand that you are responsible for YOU!

Please review the routes before you sign up to determine if these routes match to your level.

The group will stay together during the rides.
