Producers of the Southeast Gravel Series, the largest gravel series in the Southeast, the six-part series officially started in 2019 but was in development since 2010. Former pro cyclist Ben Renkema and Boyd Johnson, owner/founder of craft wheel manufacturer Boyd Cycling founded southeast Gravel. They first became teammates on the same road cycling team. Southeast Gravel has been the work of two former roadies who, over time, grew to love exploration into the unknown and the community aspect of gravel riding and racing. They ride a lot ourselves and are always finding new routes and adventures. They also lead group rides, run cycling businesses, and live to make people have fun while riding a bike. Southeast Gravel is their way of bringing the joy of riding a bike to as many people as they can.

The largest gravel series in the Southeast, the six-event Southeast Gravel Series runs from March to August throughout South Carolina. The events are produced by Southeast Gravel and take you to beautiful off-the-beaten-path locales throughout the state. The events are particularly noteworthy because they often include access to private lands allowing access to secluded terrain not ordinarily accessible. Each event offers three route options spanning approximately 75 miles, 45 miles, and a beginner/novice option of 15-20 miles. Some events have significant elevation gains, while even those with less elevation gain are very challenging due to the variability of the terrain.

The six-part series includes the Gravel Battle of Sumter Forest, Saluda Redbank 100, Race to Valhalla, Greenwood Gravel Grinder, Tryon Gravel Gallop, and Kershaw Gold Rush.
