It is with great sadness that we make the decision to cancel the 2020 Gravel Camp event.
Due to the ongoing fire emergency in the state, and after consultation with our team in Rubicon we felt it was the only right choice to make.
We would like to thank the Murrindindi Shire, Murrindindi Cycle Club, DELWP, OEG and the team at Camp Jungai for their support past and present.

'The hardest ride I've ever done'
As much as I love a bike ride, my main motivation to take part in Gravel Camp was that it seemed like a good way to get my toes wet in bikepacking. And by “toes wet” I mean I had my bike and I was camping, but I didn’t have to deal with packing part. #win.
Admittedly the 50km route looked a like a bit of challenge for me. I’d ridden the Great Otway Gravel Grind a month earlier with a similar distance but less elevation. The good news was I had been riding my bike consistently since then so I knew the extra elevation was doable. And I’d lowered my gearing from 34/40T to 34T/46T (front/back) so I could more easily tackle hills steeper than 10% grade.
The camping, the weather, the delicious dinner and brekkie, and the drinking chatting with other cyclists by campfire made for a fun and memorable experience. The ride, well…
The ride was certainly memorable.
