The Glenwood Gravel Grinder is the one the started it all And we aim to make this the biggest and best race in the Iowa Gravel Series. The route is right in our backyard and we know these roads like the back of cycling gloves.

This year we have some help from the Mills County Secondary Roads team to help make sure the courses are in tip-top shape and generally mother nature is kind and beautiful in the early fall here in Iowa. It's a great way to round out your season with a race and community that won't disappoint.

We have podium prizes and finish line raffles, some great restaurant options, and a location that can't be beat. So come have a great day in the saddle with us!
