Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder is a gravel stage race, taking on 350 miles around the Cascades, camping along the way. Although some brave souls race the event, I took it on as a bike tour.
Unlike a bikepacking trip where you haul all your own things, you literally fill a bin up with your belongings and the event team carts it to the next camping destination after your long day in the saddle. I even signed up for the VIP package (about 200 bucks more) to have them set my tent up for me!
This is why I call it Gravel Summer Camp. Bring your gravel bike, and they provide everything else. From food (three meals a day plus all the feed stations) to beer and whiskey, and you just bring, well... yourself and your stuff.
I love this event more than I can say. The views are stellar, the trails are sublimer and the volunteers and staff go above and beyond. All you have to do is ride your bike and enjoy the good life in the high deserts of Oregon!
