Truckee Tahoe Gravel: Ride the Gravel Roads in Tahoe National Forest
Your mixed-terrain mountain adventure begins here. Truckee Gravel features three different route distances from 19 to 76 miles in length. This year’s long course has been extended to include additional mileage and climbing!
Routes for All
We have designed these three amazing routes that feature some of the prettiest and toughest stuff you can find in Tahoe National Forest. Click in their Strava links to analyze them further. All riders start together at the same time, at 8:00 am at the Riverview Sports Park but follow different course markings.
EASY: 19 Miles
Our entry-level “roll-out” course is a non-competitive, introductory gravel option that brings you into Tahoe National Forest to two beautiful lakes. It is non-competitive, and you can take your time visiting Prosser Dam and Boca reservoirs with their picturesque views. It does feature one substantial, but short climb up to the Glenshire neighborhood on pavement as you return from Boca. You’ll see it in the profile above.
MODERATE: 55 Miles
The Medium distance route is measurably easier than the “Hard” route. It consists of 4,200′ of elevation gain over 55 miles throughout the beautiful Tahoe National Forest. It is timed and scored!
HARD: 76 Miles
The long, and hardest route is the staple of the Truckee Tahoe Gravel, and brings competitors all the way up and over the summit of Sardine Peak at more than 8,000′ above sea level. It is timed. It has been extended by 9 miles, and includes 6,800′ of climbing. It is timed and scored!
