The team at Strambecco rates the Best Gravel Cycling Events Northwest 2024 based on various factors, including reputation, route quality, location, rider feedback, and the event’s or race’s overall uniqueness.  Spanning events in Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Northern California,  Northwest terrain features of Strambecco’s best list include agricultural plains, a temperate rainforest, semi-arid deserts, three different mountain ranges,  and enormous canyons (including the deepest in North America).

If we had to pick the best of the best gravel cycling events Northwest 2024 or those you’d classify as bucket list events, we’d start with the Belgian Waffle Ride British Columbia held in the Spring.  In only its second year, BWR BC is already a classic and part of the famed Belgian Waffle Ride Series, the well-respected North American gravel Series including one of the country’s pinnacle gravel events, Belgian Waffle Ride California.

We’d also recommend the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic in April and the USAL Hopper: Lost Coast in October.  We also strongly correlate the best events and professional event producers.  The Northwest premiere event producers include Hopper Adventures,  Mudslinger Events, producer of the Oregon Triple Crown Series, and Breakaway Promotions, specializing in unique multi-day gravel events with fully supported camping options.
