Gravel Grinder

Registration is open for this year’s Beaver Dam Gravel Grinder in Lincoln County Nevada. The annual mountain bike event is a day’s trek over miles of gravel and dirt across cattle ranges, through old 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 where the ride starts and ends.
