Calling all gravel riders!

GRAVEL BY DAY, MUSIC BY NIGHT.

We’ve teamed up with Utah Gravel Series to bring you the Fort Desolation Fondo in the red rocks of Torrey, UT. Enjoy rides during the day on Friday and Saturday of the festival, then come back in time to swap your helmet for a drink and settle in for world-class live music.

Fort Desolation Fondo packages include two festival passes, a 30’ x 30’ camping spot with the Fondo crew, and both days of riding for one person. (Additional Fondo riders can purchase their rides as an add-on at checkout.)
