Touch Both Lines Gravel Grinder

About the Event

Experience the fourth annual Touch Both Lines Gravel Grinder, an unforgettable biking adventure honoring Hal Russell, a 6-time Tour Divide finisher and local hero. This year's event will benefit the NICA youth mountain bike group based in Warsaw Missouri, specifically supporting the Benton County Composite Bobcats.
Choose from two exciting options: a beginner-friendly 15-mile fun ride or tackle the more demanding 50-mile race. Throughout your journey, you'll enjoy SAG support to ensure smooth riding conditions and timely assistance when needed.
Upon crossing the finish line, return to the charming and historically rich Osceola Missouri town square where you can relax with a refreshing beverage and indulge in local cuisine. The event also features a family-friendly atmosphere with a bike safety expo organized by the local Optimist club for young participants.
Osceola offers a scenic backdrop that promises an engaging experience for cyclists of all levels, blending challenging terrain with picturesque landscapes to create a memorable day out on two wheels while supporting youth cycling initiatives.
