The Solstice Gravel Grinder is a premier grassroots Nebraska gravel grinder that starts and ends in Beatrice, NE in late June. This ride will again journey through some of the most beautiful back roads and gravel and we’ll be traveling north and east of Beatrice this year. The terrain mixes steep hills, rollers, and minimum maintenance roads. The Solstice 100 (The Hundy) is our original distance, and the field will be limited to 175 riders. We will also offer a couple of shorter routes. The 66+ mile gravel grinder, called the Solar Fiddy, which will be limited to 175 riders. And the Kindler (37+ miles) will return again this year and will follow many of the same roads as the other routes and also mix in a few miles on the Chief Standing Bear Trail. We added a few new categories a few years ago, the Hundy Team Relay and the SS Hundy Team Relay. These are co-ed events in which you are required to have at least one female rider on your team. We also added a Juniors Category in the Kindler and Fiddy distances for youth 18 and under, at a reduced price. And new this year are Men’s and Women’s E-bike categories in the 37 mile Kindler division.
