NEW ROUTES FOR 2026! If you haven’t heard, this year’s Butte County Gravel Grind courses have changed, and they’re better than ever. No, seriously!

The Long (63 miles / 6,900’) and Medium (47 miles / 4,600’) courses are all-new for 2026, built around the freshly constructed Escape Trail and Colby Mountain Lookout Trail. This is singletrack that didn’t exist until recently — part of the Colby Mountain Recreation Area Project that Chico Velo Trailworks has been building out over the past few years.
If you’ve been watching the trail progress and waiting for a reason to ride it — this is it!!
July 12 in Butte Meadows, CA!

Three epic course options for all levels. Register here: https://www.chicovelo.org/buttecountygravelgrind.htmland and share this with a friend who needs a reason to make the trip! Who wouldn’t want to explore a new mountain and gravel bike destination they probably haven’t heard of yet. 🔥
