Gravel Unravel is an endurance bicycle event on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. There are 3 distances and they are offered for racing and also as non-competitive rides.

The village of Quilcene is perfectly placed at the base of the Olympic Mountains, and along Quilcene Bay. This town is synonymous with hospitality, and especially welcoming are the great folks at Worthington Park, where we will be based for the day.

After leaving Worthington Park, riders head for their first challenge – Bon Jon Pass. Luckily June is when the wild rhododendrons are in full bloom. Spotlighted against the deep green background of the forest, the blooms are sure to brighten up what might seem like an endless ascent. Post-race we will have hot food, beer garden, and awards!

Also check out the second race in the series, Why-Not-Chee at Wynoochee Lake, also in Olympic National Forest.
