Welcome to Fools Gold Gravel: because who wouldn’t chase imaginary gold up a steep mountain? The route takes you up old Gold Camp Road, a former mining route where the only thing left to dig up is your own adventure. Expect loose gravel, pitch-black tunnels, killer views, and just enough climbing to make you question your life choices. 

After the climb, we’ll drop down Old Stage Road into Stratton Open Space for some flowy singletrack before heading back to Ostroy Colorado for live music, cold beer, and plenty of refreshments to celebrate your gold strike.

Presented by Ostroy and Thank Gravel It’s Friday in support of Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates who build, share, and protect inspiring trail experiences.

This is a free ride and event with optional donations benefiting Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates.
