Butte County Gravel Grind

Join us for an epic ride through the forests of the Colby Mountain Recreation Area! Kicking off from Butte Meadows, this fundraiser race supports our Colby Mountain Project to build an additional 40 miles of trails in the area. Registration includes rest stop access and post-ride meal back at the fire station. All proceeds go towards supporting the Colby Mountain Recreation Area Project to build more trails!

NEW for our second annual gravel race  is an untimed, easy leaning 24 mile, “Lookout Loop”. Enjoy the Lassen National Forest as you climb up to Colby Mountain Lookout, where you will be greeted by longtime steward, Ken Jordan, for a well stocked rest stop. All proceeds from the Butte County Gravel Grind go towards trail maintenance and Trailworks.
Volunteer sign ups will be open in February 2025.
