We are half way through the month... remember price goes up October 1!

Six more days for early bird pricing!  We are working on some fun changes to the route this year... and I may just have a few other tricks up my sleeve.  You'll have to show up to find out!


For those not interested in the 62 mile race, we also offer a 20 mile fun ride (no mtb trails on the shorter distance).  All participants get a t-shirt and hot meal from our favorite, Yats!


Check out all the details at www.GravelGrovel.com.


Looking forward to seeing you there!


Cheers,

Hey folks! The Sub-9 Gravel Grovel is just a few weeks away.. and we need volunteers! All volunteers get a free t-shirt and hot meal from Yats Columbus Indiana after the race. Volunteers are needed for support stops, registration, setup/tear down, timing, etc. If you are willing to help, we will put you to good use! If you are interested, or have a buddy/significant other/etc that wants to be a part of the fun, please send an email to info at sub-9 dot com.  Thanks in advance!

Hey folks... We've had some questions about the course for this year... just a reminder we will NOT be publishing the route until the week of the event. This allows us to make any necessary changes due to weather and also keeps the locals from having to much of an advantage... plus, I don't want to give away our surprises for this year just yet.


If you're heading to the Hoosier National to pre-ride, the 2013 course will give you a good idea of what to expect. Also, just a reminder that hunting season is upon us. Wear your blaze orange and we strongly suggest a bell. Happy graveling everyone!

Just a reminder that if you plan to register for this year's Sub-9 Gravel Grovel you MUST sign up by THIS FRIDAY in order to GUARANTEE receiving your FREE event t-shirt. www.bikereg.com/gravelgrovel2014


While we do make every effort to have plenty of t-shirts and food available, please understand that orders must be placed at least a week or two ahead of time. Your effort to sign up early will help us ensure we have plenty of everything to go around. The Gravel Grovel is rain or shine, so no need to worry about the weather.. just get signed up!


Don't forget to tell your family and friends about the 20-mile fun ride. This is a great way for everyone to enjoy the beautiful hills in the Hoosier National Forest.


Go to www.GravelGrovel.com for all the info on the 2014 event or www.bikereg.com/gravelgrovel2014 to register today!


We look forward to seeing you all again in just a few short weeks!
