Hi bike friends near and far! 

I am excited to announce that this year's NYS Gravel Championship race will be the Dirty Hector 2025! Check out the details on BikeReg at www.bikereg.com/dirty-hector. 

The race will be held Sunday May 25th, starting at Silver Queen Farm in Trumansburg, NY. It will be very similar to last year, with a hilly 40 mile course through the Finger Lakes National Forest area on dirt/gravel, trail, cow pasture, and a wee bit of pavement with an excellent hang after the race with food from Babe's Burgers, drink from Grow Brewing and Liquid State, and some great prizes. 

Categories will be Open Men, Open Women, Masters 40+ and 50+ Men, Masters 40+ and 50+ Women, Junior Men, Junior Women, and Non-Binary. Check out our Instagram page for pictures from last year and updates throughout the winter @dirtyhectorgravel. Hope to see you all there!!!

Email me for coupon code for Women's and Non-Binary categories!

If you won't be racing and would like to volunteer to help out with the race (corner/intersection marshal, race check-in, etc.) please let me know via email or text at 607-351-0489! We'll feed you and give you a great t-shirt and Main Street Market gift card as thanks!!

Here is the current course map, subject to modification so PLEASE stay tuned for updates:
