Happy New Year! Join us for The GRiT 2026
Registration opens today - thegrit.bike

Registration for the 2026 GRiT Adventure Gravel Ride is officially open, and yes—this one’s for you, MFG folks. If you’ve spent your fall and winter pinning on numbers, heckling friends, and racing bikes through parks, consider this your summer adventure counterpart. Mark your calendar for July 18, 2026 and come ride somewhere very different with the same crew you already know.

The GRiT is an adventure gravel ride through the remote wilds of the North Cascade Mountains, starting and finishing at Crystal Spring Sno-Park just east of Snoqualmie Pass. If you’ve never “done gravel” before, don’t overthink it—cyclocross bikes work great, and let’s be honest, most of you are probably already racing MFG on what looks suspiciously like a gravel bike anyway. Big terrain, quiet roads, a little singletrack, and a full weekend vibe make this a perfect mid-summer goal.

Gravel riding meets mountain biking—this is what we call Adventure Gravel. GRiT dishes up stout climbs, rewarding descents, bits of singletrack, and a constantly changing mix of surfaces where the only real question is: gravel bike or hardtail?

New for 2026: Primus. We’ve added a fourth course designed for newer riders or anyone looking for a shorter, more approachable day. Primus clocks in at 20 miles with just 1,300 feet of climbing, skips the spiciest descents, and keeps things fun without the full suffer-fest. Alongside our longer routes, it makes GRiT more welcoming—and easier to right-size your adventure.

We’re also leaning even harder into the post-ride scene at Crystal Spring Sno-Park: more food, more drinks, more hanging out under the big Cascade trees… and yes, maybe even another Sasquatch sighting.
