Gravel

Distance - 42, 32 and 12 mile events

The Crushed Rock Classic is a multi-surface bike race, held on a 6.2 mile circuit in Ames, IA with a little bit of everything. The race includes sections of crushed rock, pavement, and prairie trail. The terrain is undulating with two short, steep climbs per lap.

The Race Campus at Sunny Heights features picturesque views and is the perfect place to hang out, and enjoy the entire afternoon.  As usual we will have plenty of awesome amenities including FREE BEER from Alluvial and Thirsty Pigs, swag and race support/tents from Ames Cycling Center,  for all participants.   We will simply ask for a donation for anyone not racing that would like to enjoy the free goodies.

EXTRAS: Wine tasting, live music, and food truck!

There's now a 2 Lap Beginner Race for anyone looking to just get out and challenge themselves.  It is a great opportunity to try out gravel and mixed surfaces in a fun and festive environment!


We added 2 OPEN races so that gravel fanatics that don't have USAC road racing categorization can still race with the top level roadies.  Game on!

Fun Fact:  The Crushed Rock Classic is a USAC sanctioned road event, so road upgrade points can be earned.
