Thank You Grit Riders, Sponsors and Volunteers!
Thank you for participating in the fourth annual Shawangunk Grit fundraiser! This year was the best yet as we welcomed 635 riders for an action-packed day of gravel riding. Your registration fees, merch purchases and donations help Mohonk Preserve to protect and maintain the very land you rode on.
A special thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and staff members for contributing to this successful event! If this was your first time riding at Mohonk Preserve, we hope you’ll use the two, day passes included in your packet to come back to ride again soon and that you’ll consider taking out a membership for access all year long!

About Shawangunk Grit:
The ridge where you’ll be riding is made from bedrock called Shawangunk Conglomerate, also known as Shawangunk Grit. Shawangunk Grit slabs were used to make millstones around the turn of the century and some of these millstones can still be seen on the land today. A nod to the history of the ridge is found in the Shawangunk Grit logo.
