Every Best Of list has the same theme of how surprised and blessed we were from our cadre of rides that year.
I can’t say I’ve moved off of this, but 2024 was such a busy year I didn’t really grasp the depth of what we’ve accomplished.
Normally, Vic and I have split into our own Top 5 lists, but since so many more needed notice it was time to combine the two to reduce the redundancy and talk about more adventures.
The methodology is a bit nebulous since we both haven’t done all the same rides and we differ on criteria.
I will say repeat events, routes that require special access and our monthly rides get docked on my end and I’m sure our lists would be vastly different if we ranked separately.
Of note, for our five year anniversary I put together GBC’s Top Ten Gravel Rides compiled out of all of our guides.
One of these rides made the list, while another would have been an entry had the video posted in that period.
So while the other eight might be a tier below, they are all closely grouped.
