Congratulations.
Today is your day.
Your bike’s good to go.
There’s dirt up ahead
And a whole lot to show.

You’ve got legs on the pedals,
Your hands on the bars.
You’ve already come further
Than you think that you are.

Some miles will come easy.
Some climbs will feel steep.
You’ll question your choices.
You might need to eat.

So stop for a minute.
Walk if you must.
There’s no shame in regrouping
Out there in the dust.

A hard stretch of riding
Can mess with your head.
It doesn’t erase
All the miles that you’ve led.

Your win might be racing.
Your win might be slow.
Your win might be finding
How far you can go.

No place on a podium
Can tell your whole tale:
The courage to start.
The grit when plans fail.

So give what you’ve got,
Take the help that you need.
Your day. Your ride. Your victory.
And yes—you will succeed.
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed)

The ride is Saturday. The weekend starts TODAY.

Pack your bike. Bring your people. Throw in a tent and stay awhile. Here’s the full Dirty Sheets weekend:

THURSDAY, OCT. 15
Camping opens at NGMBA Headquarters. Join us from 5–7 PM at S&S Fire Pits in College Park for the Packet Pick-Up Party. Cold drinks, fire pits and s’mores. A pretty good way to get this thing started.

FRIDAY, OCT. 16
Roll out at 2 PM for the Outback Bikes Shakeout Ride, led by last year’s winner, PJ Terry. Packet pick-up is 6–8 PM, with camping and live music from Jackson Rocks to round out the night.

SATURDAY, OCT. 17
Pick your prescription: 10, 22, 62 or 100 miles. There’s a $5,000 purse for the 100-miler and plenty of reasons to stick around after you finish. The After Party runs noon–6 PM with rides, food, cold drinks and live music from Das Kaiser. Bring your friends and family. They don’t need to ride to have a good time.

SUNDAY, OCT. 18
One more cup. One more ride. Join us at 9 AM for an approximately 20-mile Coffee Ride before heading home.

More states joining. More riders coming. More support for building trails.

Dirty Sheets Gravel Weekend now has riders from 17 states and three countries—and counting. Welcome to the party!

Still on the fence? Do you ride trails? Think of this as your way of giving back. A day on gravel helps build more of the trails we all love to ride.

The 62-mile distance is almost full, and camping is filling up fast. Grab your spot, bring your riding buddies, and make a weekend of it.

Women of gravel, let’s grow that 100-mile field! There’s $2,500 on the line for the women’s field, and we’d love to see more of you on the start line.

Rider tees have been ordered, and the available shirt counts are updated. If your size is available at checkout and you select it, there’ll be one waiting for you.

10, 22, 62 or 100 miles. Pick your distance, bring your people, and come ride for more trails.
