The Pine Island Gravel Odyssey was formerly known as the Gold Rush Gravel Grinder.
This is South Dakota’s premier gravel event which operates under a special use permit for the Black Hills National Forest. Four route/event options meet the needs of all rider types. The longest and hardest route is dubbed the Lodgepole Voyage.
This is your event if you are looking for more of a self-supported, ultra-endurance, adventure type of race. This race is not for beginners, as it is a very challenging ride. Before registering for this event, you must have completed the Pine Island-Gravel Odyssey or a race of at least 100 miles.
It is an ultra 210-mile ride that takes you on a long tour through the Northern and Southern Black Hills of South Dakota.
