Gravel des Vieilles Pierres is an early-season gravel ride based in Montagny, Rhône department, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Starting from 50 route du Batard, it offers riders a choice of gravel distances: 40, 60, and 80 km are commonly listed, with some event calendars showing 45 and 65 km versions. Electric-assist bikes are permitted, and the low entry fees suggest a local cycling club event rather than a large commercial race.
The routes proceed toward Le Signal via gravel tracks through orchards and heathland, incorporating woodland singletrack, balcony paths, quiet roads, and old village passages. Certain sections traverse private land, accessible only for the event. Participants are requested not to reuse these paths afterward without authorization and to indicate restricted areas if sharing GPS files. The broader Vieilles Pierres cyclo and gravel gathering has a long local history, though the specific VTT Gravel des Vieilles Pierres format is relatively new.
