It’s Grit!
75 Miles of Joy!
The Grit Route will take athletes deep into Goethe’s most beautiful and remote areas providing an extraordinary gravel experience to everyone seeking an adventure!
Two Grit Segments of the route (mile 49-51 and 60.5-62.5) will challenge your bike handling skills, equipment and will give you something to talk about at dinner! IT’S GRIT!
Make sure to stop at the Big Cypress Boardwalk Trail and check out The Goethe Giant which is over 900 years old, and isΒ 105 feet tall. Please do not ride the trail. The short hike is worth it!
With a single water stop at mile 20, we highly recommend carrying enough fluids, nutrition and repair kit for the entire journey.
All routes are SELF-SUPPORTED.
See you at dinner!
