The Adventure Cycling Association today launched a new 3,804-mile gravel cycling route stretching from the Mississippi River in Missouri to the Oregon Coast, marking the nonprofit’s 50th anniversary and expanding one of the largest mapped bike-touring networks in the United States.
Called the Golden Gravel Trail (GGT), the route winds through eight states and is roughly 70 per cent unpaved. Endurance cyclist Sarah Swallow, whose 2015 ride on the Trans-America Trail helped shape the route, assisted with its development.
