Beechworth Granite Classic

16 April 2027
15–115 km

A deliberately podium-free gravel weekend around Beechworth, mixing sealed roads with granite gravel through farmland and around Mount Pilot. The 115 km route carries up to 60 km of gravel, and the routes interlink so you can step up or down on the day. People come for the riding and the weekend rather than a result.
