How it works
262 Gravel is more than just a ride - it’s a shared adventure. No pressure, no race, just 2 great days on the bike together. Whether you come to push yourself or simply to enjoy the journey, the experience is entirely yours to shape.
For those who prefer riding in a group, our cycling guides will be out on the routes, making it easy to just ride, socialize, and enjoy without worrying about navigation. We will have 2 guided pace groups with experienced coaches. One with estimated 20km/h & another with 25km/h.
You can also ride at your own pace and navigate the route with help from our GPX-files. This is not about competition - it’s about community, exploration, and creating unforgettable moments on two wheels.
A few days before the event, you’ll receive a suggested GPX route to guide your ride. You’re free to follow them as you like, or take your own path - the choice is yours. Along the routes, we’ve selected special stops where you can refuel, and enjoy the atmosphere together.
Segments are a fantastic mix of social cycling and a touch of competitive excitement, perfect for those who enjoy a challenge. Along the route, you’ll encounter carefully selected segments that showcase a variety of terrain - from tough climbs and technical sections to fast descents and flowing gravel paths. These segments turn the ride into an engaging adventure, full of iconic landscapes and memorable experiences.
You can ride the segments at your own pace or choose to compete in the timed sections if you have a valid racing license. Everyone else can enjoy them as part of the journey, stopping to refuel, take photos, or simply soak in the surroundings. Segments make the ride more dynamic, creating moments that are as fun and social as they are thrilling.
Throughout the day, our support car will be nearby to make sure everything runs smoothly - whether you need help with your bike or just a bit of encouragement.
Each day begins and ends in beautiful, carefully selected locations in Trysil & Lindvallen. The day wraps up with a relaxed afterbike gathering where everyone can connect, celebrate, and soak in the atmosphere - a perfect finish to an unforgettable adventure.
For everyone, we provide bag transport between Sälen and Trysil, so you can ride light and focus on enjoying the day.
