By 2016, Gravel Worlds had hit its stride. The event had found a home in Fallbrook on the north side of Lincoln and was growing into one of the most respected gravel races in the country. The field was deeper than ever, the roads were relentless, and the community spirit that defined the race was stronger than ever. Riders came from across the U.S. — some chasing a podium, others simply hoping to cross the finish line before the day was done.
