The Appalachian Journey 2023

What a RIDE


 Well folks we pulled it off! Weather off the charts, surpassed only by the energy of 550 riders on #Gravelachia goods pushing their limits and showing up for each other.

This year was a banner year in so many ways but the overarching takeaway for all of us was that of human triumph. Quoting one of our participants The Journey asks riders to be the “best versions of ourselves” and in ‘23 that was shown in spades.

Whether it was willingness to toe a wet start line, or to boogie down at Dogtown for the first HandUp Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament, or simply partners showing up for each other in big and small ways.

We couldnt be more in love with The Journey outcomes and owe that to so many of you who share our belief that bike racing can make us all #bettertogether.
