Gravel Grinder

The annual mountain bike event is a day’s trek over miles of gravel and dirt across cattle ranges, through settler homesteads, around isolated ranches and past the historic one-room Barclay Schoolhouse. Two routes are offered, 35 or 45 miles. Lunch is served at the Barclay Schoolhouse and an after-ride bar-b-que is served under the pavilion in the park.
