De Ronde Van Grampian

The De Ronde van Grampian

The De Ronde van Grampian is now part of the Michigan Gravel RACE Series with its roots derived from special races and rides from years past in and around the local area of Oakland and Lapeer Counties.  This ride pays tribute to the Ronde van Stony, Grampian Challenge and Fall 50.  For 2026, The De Ronde van Grampian will be held on Saturday August 1st starting and finishing inside Upland Hills Farm.

There will be three distances: 13-mile, 25-mile and 50-mile courses consisting of 100% gravel. These routes travel through the natural rolling terrain in the area with amazing scenic views and a special single and double track mixed in for good fun!  There is even a Dutch Windmill out on the 50 course!  We will provide marked routes, .gpx files, along with timing provided by Epic Timing.  Food will be available for purchase after the race.

We also plan to have on-site bike mechanical support.

This race uses Upland Hills private land only accessible during the event on August 1st, 2026 from 10AM to 4PM - NO EXCEPTIONS.  You cannot pre-ride the Upland Hills section of the course. Violators will be reported to the local authorities for trespassing.
