FREE Grassroots Gravel – 2024 La Fleche Willistonne

grassroots gravel cycling florida
Welcome to Willston, Florida!

“Yes, we know what Fleche means and this is not exactly one of those. But who wants to find their way back to the start after 55-75 miles of hard mixed surface riding? Not us. So we have two routes on offer that get you back to the parking area without a shuttle bus. It’s October and that likely means continuing hot weather – so no mega mileage here, yet that may only mean more pace injected. Who knows?” – La Fleche Willistonne, part of the North Florida Freeride Gravel Series.
