The SRV is fast becoming a mecca for gravel riders who seek out premier raw road cycling adventures. Dirt & gravel roads take you through idyllic farm country, over relentlessly rolling hills, along running waters and through gorgeous, old-growth forests.
Central Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River Valley is home to the nationally acclaimed unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley, a premier gravel ride covering 120-miles of raw forest, mountain, valley & farm roads during peak fall foliage season.
Any time of the year a weekend in the SRV is perfect for exceptional rides and strenuous training runs. Plan a spring cycling weekend and include an unPAved route. We are sure you will want to come back - and maybe even compete in an upcoming unPAved race.
Plan a Cycling Weekend in the Susquehanna River Valley
Try an unPAved route for the first time or schedule some training rides. Either way, we know you will want to come back for more!
UnPAved Pennsylvania rides out of Lewisburg, this year on Sunday, October 10th.
Taking
what we did (and loved) in 2019, adding in some of the changes we made
for 2020, sleeping on it (see below) and voila! Of course, all of this
is subject to change and could be edited dramatically. It's our working
plan and updates will be communicated as they happen.
800 PARTICIPANTS FOR unPAved & 400 PARTICIPANTS for SOMEpaved The
unPAved courses are 120 or 90 miles, while SOMEpaved has a new version
of the 50 mile course and a 30 mile course that stay in the farm country
(less gravel but less hills!) as well as a 20 mile course that stays on
the Rail Trail.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN START TIME Think you need all day (and into the night) to finish the ride? Start at dawn. Would rather the sun come up and warm things up a bit? Start later in the morning. Since the race is timed over specific segments there's no need for a mass-start (and all the chaos that comes with it).
SEGMENT RACING Six segments, adding up to 43 miles of the Full-120 course, will be timed to determine the 2021 King & Queen of the Whoopie Pies! More on the segments on the Courses Page.
AID STATIONS Fuel up, and catch up with the friendly folks at the multiple Aid Stations on course filled with yummy treats & hydration. No timing in the aid stations, so relax & enjoy!
OVERNIGHT CATEGORY New for 2021, start your ride on Saturday and camp out in Poe Paddy State Park that night before heading back on Sunday! Not timed, so you can focus on having a good time. We'll even transport your gear for you (just $10).
FUN ALL WEEKEND LONG Get un(G)ravelled on Friday Night in downtown Lewisburg, take a social spin and take part in the Fall Festival on Saturday, go for a big ride on Sunday followed with the DONEpaved Party, and join us for a Brunch Ride before heading home on Monday (this is a 3-day weekend, officially).
SAFETY FIRST A number of protocols will be in place to keep you, your fellow riders, volunteers and the community safe & healthy.
