26 SEP 2026
Experience some of Southwest Montana’s most spectacular backcountry on two wheels at the Golden Gravel Grinder, Saturday, September 26, 2026, in historic Virginia City.

Choose from 13-, 40-, or 85-mile routes, each taking riders off the beaten path and into the wide-open landscapes of Madison County. Beginning creekside at Discovery Park, the courses travel through historic Nevada City and onto scenic gravel roads surrounded by mountain ranges, ranch country, high-elevation vistas, and the kind of beautiful solitude that makes riding in Montana unforgettable.

Whether you’re looking for an approachable gravel adventure or ready to tackle the challenging 85-mile route, there’s a ride for you.

After crossing the finish line back in Virginia City, stick around for a well-earned celebration with tacos, beer, and plenty of Montana hospitality.

Come for the ride. Stay for the history, scenery, and a weekend in one of Montana’s most iconic historic towns.
