2026 OMG Gravel Grind Series by Outdoor Elements
OMG - Gravel Grind Series:OMG = Oh My Gravel
Everytime people join us for a gravel ride in the Sussex region, there’s always a moment of “oh my” this is awesome, this is what gravel riding is all about!
We love showing people what gravel riding is all about and we consider the Sussex/Fundy region, gravel mecca!
We have a series of 5 planned rides over the next few months, from shorter intro to gravel rides with 30-50 Km routes planned, to a few bigger days in the saddle with 100Km routes planned to take us from Sussex to the Fundy coast and back, and we’ll finish the series with our always sold out Gasthof Gravel Grind which will have a short and long route followed by an amazing bavarian feast at one of our favorite places, the Gasthof Old Bavarian Restaurant.
