Your packet will include a number plate with a timing chip for your bike. Affix this to your handlebars with the included zip ties. Your packet will also include a bib number for your jersey with safety pins. The bib number has your meal ticket and raffle ticket on the bottom.
Support on course
We have fully stocked aid stations for all courses (3 aid stations for the short course and 5 aid stations for the long course), offering Skratch Labs hydration products, fresh fruit, cookies, salty snacks and more.
Race the segments
The short and long courses share the Crooked Creek and Cottonwood Pass timed segments. The long course also has the High Alpine Grind. We will award prizes to the top three women and men for both courses, based on cumulative times.
Packing suggestions
Bring a number of layers for all weather including rain, then decide in the morning what to wear and carry. Cool mornings usually become warm afternoons with a chance of showers. We recommend our handlebar bag for on-bike storage.
Fun stuff all day
A post-ride BBQ is included with your registration. After Crooked Gravel, take in live music and the cool alpine air while enjoying libations courtesy of Odell Brewing Company. Stop by our merchandise booth to grab 2021 official event merchandise.
Treat yourself with some body work
Our friends at The Sports Massage Team will be on hand Saturday working their magic on your sore muscles. Massages will be available in 15-minute increments.
Bring your squad!
Tell your friends - online registration closes July 18 at midnight, but they can still sign up in person Friday and Saturday in Winter Park. More friends = a better draft and a better time!
Grand prize raffle
Bikes are hard to come by these days. Stick around after your ride for a chance to win an Atlas Bike Frame by Alchemy Bikes. You could be riding in style this summer.
Smile! You're on camera
Get your personal event photos with FinisherPix! FinisherPix is the official photographer at Crooked Gravel. Your personal photos will be available online. Make sure your bike plate number is facing front at all times and don't forget to smile when you cross the finish line!
