Grevet 2021

Grevet brings together contemporary gravel riding and the century-old tradition of randonneuring. It revives the pioneer spirit of early long distance cycling around at the start of the 20th century that actually still took place on unpaved roads. This inaugural series will feature a total of eight events around Berlin and Dresden, where riders will follow a list of checkpoints (“controls”) at their own pace to complete. The four routes in Berlin and Dresden are the slightly shorter off-road counterparts to standard Brevet distances (200, 300, 400 and 600km) and cover mostly rolling gravel and compacted dirt roads with some paved cycleways and quiet back roads mixed in.

Due to covid restrictions there will not be a set start date but rather a two-week window for each of the events so riders can tackle the challenges as a duo team or solo.
