The Route

Starting and finishing This 25-mile mixed terrain route winds through the National Forest, featuring rolling sections and a few longer, moderate climbs on the way back. For 2027, the Caja Gravelito brings a bit more challenge and even better views along the way.

The Start/Finish

The start/finish is located just outside the boundary of the Santa Fe National Forest 62 Rd on City of Santa Fe Municipal Recreation Sports Complex (MRC), a 15 minute drive west of Santa Fe. Parking will be available at MRC.

Start Time There will be a mandatory riders’ meeting at 8:45 am and a mass-start at 9:00 am for both events, Caja Gravelito and Caja Gravelon.

Gear and Equipment Each rider needs a multiple gear bike with a low gear for hill climbing in good mechanical condition, with a tire width of at least 35 mm recommended. A bicycle tune up prior to the event is highly recommended.

Helmets meeting CPSC standards are mandatory. All riders should ride single file, obey traffic laws and adhere to the same rules as automobiles. In addition, each cyclist must carry a spare tube, a patch kit, pump or CO2 cartridges and basic tools. Each rider should carry extra water.

Food Stops There is a Food Stop with snacks, fresh fruit, energy drinks, water and more.
