Grassroots Gravel

Grassroots Gravel is a gravel cycling series in Pueblo, Colorado, featuring a May Farmstand 50 race and a larger Grassroots Gravel race and festival weekend each October. It accommodates various rider types with multiple distances, full support, precise timing, and options for competitive racers or group riders. The organizers emphasize its family-owned, Pueblo-rooted nature, catering to everyday riders, newcomers, and experienced cyclists on the same schedule. Farmstand 50 is a one-distance ride through Pueblo County's agricultural areas. The October event expands to two days, including rides, racing, food, music, a cycling industry and art expo, a concert, and a community ride. The series also offers free bike-skills clinics, a flat-fixing learning and competition series, and a Ride Together Grant to lower costs and assist with equipment. Its local focus is significant, with events benefiting Southern Colorado and keeping Pueblo central to the initiative.
