GRAVEL WORLDS Rules:

Bicycle riding is just not that complicated. Nor does it seem that the quality of the gravel riding experience is in any way tied to the size of a rulebook. Everyone that comes here understands that when it comes to breaking or even bending a rule that the stakes aren’t really measured in dollars (or dollars lost). They’re measured in personal integrity.

Rule #1:

BE COOL!!

Same rule for ALL Gravel Worlds Events.

This really covers a lot of ground. The Golden Rule, Don’t Be A D*ck, Treat other people and other people’s stuff with respect. However you say it, don’t break Rule #1. If you hafta ask, it’s probably NOT COOL!! 

  • Yelling at a volunteer….. NOT COOL!!

  • Cutting course….. NOT COOL!!

  • Walking/Riding off of public roads on private property…NOT COOL!!

  • Cussing out a competitor or official….. NOT COOL!!

  • Hiding feedbags on course….. NOT COOL!!

Being not cool has and will disqualify podium finishes and will result in you not being invited back to Gravel Worlds events.
