Gravel Locos Features Routes from the heart of heartland

All three routes will be escorted out of Hico, TX on paved roads and Highway 6 for approximately 1.5 miles. After the hard right turn onto a gravel county road, the gravel fun begins! The finish line for all three routes is in front of Hico City Hall where we started from.

The GL30 features the same river crossing as the longer routes, and you should also be ready for a cyclecross challenge around mile 25, where you will have to dismount to cross the barricades blocking the bridge over Bee Creek.

As its name implies, you've got to be a lil' crazy to ride La Loca: 155.3 miles (112 miles of which are on gravel) and 8,200 feet of elevation gain. The GL150 features five wet crossings, the "Loco Hill" along with three of the biggest, baddest hills in Bosque County. All three are back to back and all three kick up into the 17-18% grade. La Loca is also loaded with rolling hills and great scenery and passes by the oldest Seventh Day Adventist Church in Texas, built in 1913 and through old pecan plantations and the Leon River Valley.
