Penns Valley Pedals & Pints - unPAved Race 2025 - Whoopie Pies or Pierogi Pace

unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley is Pennsylvania’s premier gravel cycling adventure, held every October and known for its scenic beauty, community vibe, and seriously fun ride options. Whether you’re in it for the challenge, the camaraderie, or the post-ride treats (Whoopie Pies, anyone?), the unPAved race offers something for every kind of rider.

Choose your adventure:

Race for Whoopie Pies – 130 miles, 12,000’ elevation, 78% unPAved, 56 miles timed over 4 segments – CASH PRIZES.
Ride at Pierogi Pace – Ride the full 130 (shortcuts noted), Proper 50 or Burley 30 without the need for speed—at a lower price!.
The Slumber Party – Extend the fun! Ride the 130 starting on Saturday, finishing on Sundy with a fun sleepover at RB Winter State Park. Pack your sense of adventure (we’ll shuttle your stuff!).
The Big Lick 200 – For the ultra-cyclists who have proven they have what it takes to ride many miles, lots of hills, through the night, and be self-sufficient the whole time.

The unPAved crew is all about creating joyful, welcoming, and rewarding ride experiences that showcase the best of PA’s gravel and communities. PVPP is proud to support unPAved by volunteering at THE RANCH support station—and even more proud to call them a sponsor for the 2025 season!
