Gravel Ride of the Week: Grayson Gravel Traverse

#Gravel #RideOfTheWeek #GraysonGravelTraverse
Grayson County, an often-overlooked gem in Southern Virginia is bookended by two remarkable trails – the renowned Virginia Creeper Trail on one end and the picturesque New River Trail State Park on the other. Now, imagine a masterfully planned gravel route that connects the trail in the west and its counterpart in the east. That’s where this two-day bikepacking story comes in!

Join me and a diverse group of talented bikepackers, including photographers, cycling content creators, and ultra-endurance racers as we embark on the the Grayson Gravel Traverse. Breathtaking landscapes, picturesque farmlands, idyllic creeks, and friendly communities makes this bikepacking trip an unforgettable experience.
