The organizer confirms Gravel n Granite for March 5–7, 2027, with the 91-kilometre Range Rumble on Saturday’s gravel program across fast gravel, rugged terrain, big climbs, fast descents, and National Park backroads.
This twelve-week Masters plan spaces the hard days for absorption, adds recovery, and preserves enough durability and climbing restraint and descending control to stay composed through the 91-kilometre Range Rumble’s big climbs and fast descents. Long rides prove the complete pacing, fueling, tire, and repair system.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
