Event 6 of 6 in the Southeast Gravel Series
The Grand Finale of the season. In our recent survey, Tryon was overwhelmingly voted the favorite venue and event. Moving the event to October 11th (the official "nicest day of the year") will let you take in the scenery of the leaves that have began to change while you enjoy the cool weather after a long hot summer.

The True Test of Equipment
With a wide variety of different riding styles, the Tryon course is one where equipment selection is critical. There's long sections of pavement, very smooth gravel, two track roads, and very chunky gravel. You'll want to ride something durable that won't slow you down on the pavement. Choices!

It's All Downhill From Here
OK, so it's not *all* downhill, but the last 10 miles are. Yes, that means the climbing is packed into the first parts of the course, so feel free to push it knowing you can coast to the finish if you blow up. We'll be there waiting with food.

Free Food, Free Beer!
Go as hard as you want, and know that a hot meal and a cold refreshing beer will be awaiting you at the finish line. Stick around and cheer on fellow riders who are finishing.

Final Series Podiums and Prizes
The venue at Harmon Field has a river running right behind the park. Many riders jump in the river to cool off before enjoying their post race lunch. We don't blame you if you want to ride your bike right into the river!
