We are excited to present our first Glenorchy Gravel Grind, an epic day of gravel riding in Glenorchy. Tackle the full throttle of The Century Gravel Grind, a 160-kilometre epic adventure that conquers all four gravel roads, pushing limits against the backdrop of the Southern Alps, Lake Whakatipu, Dart and Rees Rivers. For something less daunting, opt for the Paradise Gravel Dash, a 37-kilometre scenic ride along the iconic Paradise Road, blending scenic beauty into this “family friendly” adventure.
Join us for a day of heart-pounding cycling, breathtaking landscapes, and the camaraderie of fellow bike enthusiasts. Get ready to grind!
Event Options:
The CENTURY Gravel Grind
A century ride is usually the term used to a road route of 100 miles or 100 kilometres. Well, this one ticks both boxes. Ride all our spectacular gravel roads to create a spider-style route. Don’t be fooled by the lack of big hills – this ride will eat you little by little with some surprises along the way. Make sure you save some legs for the last leg- word is out she’s the hilliest of the route.
160 kms (100 miles) | 1900m Vert
78% gravel | 22% paved | 100% stunning
Over 20 creek crossings | Spring winds likely

The PARADISE Gravel dash
We all heard about the Road to Paradise, but did they ever tell you it’s a gravel road? Of course it had to be, it’s paradise after all! Most locals would argue this is our most scenic gravel road so you are in for a treat. This is a family friendly easy ride option if you are not in for the suffering. Ride through farmland, beech forest, surrounded by the Southern Alps. How many mountains can you name it? Go on.
37 kms | 360m Vert
A family friendly scenic ride, perfect if you are supporting someone riding the big event.
Native forest, mountains, great views of Diamond Lake
