Year 5 of Thursday Night Gravel has come to an end. Mother nature has not wanted to have us finish out with a bang. No ThNG tonight and as we run out of daylight, we'll see you again next spring.

We'll try to do a few activations at the shop throughout the winter and will try to organize some group rides on the weekends.

Ride On!

Help us welcome Abi Burke to the Gravel Worlds team as our new Volunteer Coordinator! 👋⁠
⁠
Growing up in Lincoln, Abi has been on a bike for as long as she can remember. From road racing and triathlons to gravel, she’s followed in her dad’s footsteps and found her place in the gravel community.⁠
⁠
Abi works at Goodlife Cyclery and leads the local women’s gravel ride every Tuesday night, creating a space for more women to get on bikes, find their people, and fall in love with gravel.⁠
⁠
Cycling has given Abi an incredible community and countless opportunities, and we’re excited to have her help create that same experience for the people who make Gravel Worlds what it is: our volunteers.⁠
⁠
Welcome to the team, Abi! We’re lucky to have you. 🤝🚲

Winter Endurance is BACK - and registration is officially OPEN. ❄️

Join us February 20, 2027 for 100K, 50K, 15 mile bike, and 10K run options, plus a new finish line at Junto W**e outside of Seward, NE

Cheap registration. No checkpoints. Gas station lottery tickets as course proof. Chipboard timing. Just a good reason to get outside and keep moving through the winter.

What do we mean when we say the 99%?

The 99% of Gravel Worlds are the everyday Jills and Joes who show up and give this event their time, energy, and hard earned paychecks.

They’re training after work. They’re riding in the heat, wind, and rain. They’re taking on distances that once seemed impossible. They’re the friends who convinced each other to sign up, the first timers, the longtime finishers, and everyone in between.

Sure, the pros may get the headlines (and we love them!). But the 99% have always been the backbone of Gravel Worlds.

They’re why we do this. They’re part of what makes this event what it is.

A huge thank you to FFA for helping keep our riders safe on the road this year. 🚲

FFA provided safety marshals at the stop signs along both the 150 and 75 mile courses, helping riders safely navigate these busy intersections and keep moving toward the finish.

This safety support was proudly sponsored by Scarborough Bicycle Accident Law. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the roads safer for the Gravel Worlds community.

Our finish line photos are quickly becoming one of our favorite Gravel Worlds traditions. ❤️

This year, Panaracer partnered with Clare Paniccia to capture the moments that make it all worth it - the smiles, the hugs, the exhaustion, the celebrations, and everything in between.

Because the finish line is more than a place you arrive. It’s a moment you get to remember.

What do you learn on gravel?

That the road doesn’t care how fast you planned to go.
That patience can take you further than power.
That the best moments usually aren’t the easy ones.
That you’re capable of more than you thought.

And sometimes, all you really need to do is keep riding.

That’s what gravel teaches you.

The sword isn’t just a finishers’ award. It’s a symbol of what Gravel Worlds is all about.

A little grit. A lot of miles. And a story you get to take home with you.

For the first to last, the sword has become an icon of Gravel Worlds - earned out on the roads and carried long after the finish line. ⚔️
