Pirate Cycling League Gravel Worlds <08/08/18>

We are hosting a tour to The Pirate Cycling League Gravel Worlds event.

The 2018 Gravel Worlds promises an unparalleled challenge for the gravel enthusiast. The pirates are charting a route of approximately 150 miles and near 10,000ft (3040m) of climbing – adventuring through the rural farmlands of Southeastern Nebraska.

The 2018 Gravel Worlds will satisfy your gravel grinder itch. The pirates have a fun and challenging course designed for 2018 with some familiar roads from years past and some newly-discovered sections never ventured on before.

The exciting part of this event is that the course is not released until just prior to the event and it’s self-supported mayhem.

The winner of each category of the officially unofficial Gravel World Championship (150 miler) will have the honor of slipping on a Gravel World Champion jersey! All finishers who complete the entire 150 miles (241 km) will also receive a unique finisher item.

The Privateer Gravel Grinder is back for 2018 for those that want to get their feet wet. This is a non-competitive event. You can expect approximately 75 miles (120 km) of Nebraska Gravel Goodness on many of the same roads as the 150 miler.

But that’s not all, there will be plenty of time to see some local attractions, amazing sights, some riding, shopping, big eating and, of course, breweries!

Alto Cycle Tours is pleased to offer an all-inclusive LAND only package deal – accommodation, fun and most food included.
You just have to get there, with your bike, appetite and legs!
