At Special Blend Gravel Spring Camp, we’ll spend three days riding amazing gravel roads on the Columbia Plateau, with just enough climbing to wake up the legs and just enough descending to hone your skills. We’ll finish each day at the Balch Hotel, where we will recover, relax, enjoy catered meals, drink good coffee, and sit around the parlor to share knowledge and experiences.

During camp, we will ride many of the same roads used for the Gorge Gravel Grinder course, providing a “race preview” for those planning to race, and helping to prepare you for the gravel season ahead, whether that includes racing the entire Oregon Gravel Series, Lost & Found, Unbound, The Last Best Ride, Spirit World, a bike packing trip, or big adventures with friends.

In the last six months, people driving and dangerous streets killed three people bicycling (Elizabeth Cardenas Figueroa, Merle Dean Sheffield, and Erick Munene Njue). Despite Vision Zero efforts to eliminate traffic fatalities and life-changing injuries no matter how people choose to travel, Eugene is seeing the number of deaths increase, mirroring experiences across the country. Now community members and local organizations are coming together to envision and push for a safer and better transportation system for everyone. The community forum on February 12 is one of the first steps in this journey.

Voice concerns and hopes around how we travel around.
Preview a range of possible solutions with UO Professor of City & Regional Planning Marc Schlossberg.
Hear responses from Eugene Mayor Kaarin Knudson, County Commissioner Laurie Trieger, and other officials.
Learn about next steps and opportunities for getting involved in lasting change.
