Groovy Gritty Gravel Race
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2024
MSE Racing is once again excited to host the Groovy Gritty Gravel Race at the beautifully wooded Innsbrook Resort. This challenging race is incredibly fun, pretty tough, and gorgeous! You can do it on any OFF road bike: hybrid, mountain, gravel or cyclocross bikes. The race starts at 10:00am at the historic Innsbrook log cabin located across from scenic Alpine Lake. A portion of our proceeds goes to Wags and Whiskers, a pet rescue center in Warrenton, MO.

COURSE NOTES:
While riding, athletes need to pay attention to the green cones with
arrows. No arrow? Don’t turn! We only have a couple volunteers, so riders need to pay attention. The gravel is deep in some parts and very loose - we encourage getting after it but please slow it down on descents and ride smart.
RACE CUTOFFS:
Athletes will have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete each loop. Race management reserves the right to remove an athlete from the course and DNF the athlete if course officials determine there is no possibility of an athlete finishing the given loop before the posted cut off times based on an athlete’s location, time, and average speed up to that point.
FINISH LINE FUN:
Stick around after the race for post ride refreshments, firepits and music!

Listen for announcements. Awards will occur for each distance once enough finishers are in to solidify results for that distance.
