La Gravel Night begins in Rochefort-sur-Loire, France. Riders assemble at the Château de l'Eperonnière for an evening gravel event. Cycles Plein Air stores organize the event, focusing on gravel biking instead of road racing or mountain-bike trails.
The event appears to be a new, small-format gathering, not a long-running series, as this is the first edition under the La Gravel Night name. The most distinct tradition is practical and social: a cold pasta party is available from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM, preceding the night ride atmosphere.
