A WORD FROM OUR SOUL
Join us and experience Oaxaca (wuh-haa-kah), Mexico through the power of soul+bicycle at Siete Almas Gravel. Oaxaca is considered a mystical land with its vibrant markets, ancient ruins, and traditional ceremonies. The blend of indigenous cultures and rich history creates a unique, enchanting atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. In recent years, thanks to it's endless dirt roads and mystical mountains, Oaxaca has captured the hearts of thousands of gravelleurs, mountain bikers, and bikepackers from around the globe.
However, Siete Almas Gravel is not your typical gravel ride, it is a two stage ride/race which captures the essence and culture of Oaxaca.

WHAT IS SIETE ALMAS GRAVEL
Weather you're racing other participants, the clock, or simply enjoying the scenery at your own pace, Siete Almas promises a memorable experience.
Siete Almas Gravel is a two day timed event on some gnarly dirt roads, beautiful scenery, and pre/post ride experiences. Our unique concept begins with approximately 60km (37 miles) on day one, and approximately 100km (62 miles) on day two. On the third and final day, we shift gears into a coffee/social ride spanning approximately 50km (31 miles) in local Oaxaca.
At Siete Almas, our primary objective is to ensure every rider has a safe and epic adventure. Our dedicated support team will provide assistance during each stage of the event. We pride ourselves in bringing an enhanced experience to our cycling community, and hope every rider and companion(s) absorbs the spirit and beauty of Oaxaca.
