De Ronde van Grampian (DRvG)

The DRvG is a gravel race derived from a history of rides and races in both Oakland and Lapeer counties. Mitten Velo hosts this race, which is now part of the Michigan Gravel Race Series and pays tribute to the Ronde van Stony, Grampian Challenge.

Summer Solstice Ride

The Mitten Velo Summer Solstice Ride is our way of celebrating the longest day of the year with a long gravel ride. 61 miles. 4 counties. A little bit of pavement, a little bit of rails to trails and lots of dirt roads. You need some miles in your legs to do this ride. Expect to average 16 mph for 64 miles. The group will be kept from averaging 20 mph, but if you can't average 16 mph, start earlier or ride the route backwards to meet up with the group. You should have a 50 mile ride in your legs already this year before attempting this ride.

Michigan Fat Bike Challenge

The Michigan Fat Bike Challenge is comprised of eight different segments spread across eight weeks beginning in December. Participants will complete each segment within a defined time frame and all who attempt each segment will win a free Cold Stone ice cream cake. An end of series celebration will be held to celebrate the top finishers and all who competed.

D Ride
