Introducing the Northern Pines Gravel Series
This year, The Hungry Bear, Epic Gravel, and Gordon Pines Barrons are launching a new gravel bike series in Northwest Wisconsin in partnership with Borah Teamwear—the Northern Pines Gravel Series. Expect breathtaking views, thoughtfully crafted routes for riders of all levels, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that makes race day about more than just the finish line.
Take on three gravel races among the towering pines of Wisconsin’s Northwest. These courses are designed to challenge you, with a little bit of everything: scenic, flowing gravel roads, stretches of singletrack, ATV trails, and occasional fast pavement. These are far from your typical Sunday-stroll gravel events. If you’ve been longing for quiet back roads, punchy climbs, and the kind of scenery that rekindles your love for riding, this is your invitation to escape the ordinary to Wisconsin’s Northwest.
Series Information: The 2026 Northern Pines Gravel Series features three exciting gravel races (with even more events planned for 2027):
- Hungry Bear Gravel – May 9, 2026
- Epic Gravel–- June 7, 2026
- Gordon Pine Barrens – June 13, 2026
Complete a race at all three events—regardless of distance—and you’ll earn an exclusive Northern Pines Gravel Series Trail Sun Hoodie from Borah, crafted locally in Wisconsin. This is the same style worn by CAMBA trail stewards and crew throughout the summer.
How does it work? Just sign up for the series using the same email you use for all your race registrations. After you complete the Gordon Pine Barrens event, you’ll receive a certificate to access the Borah Gravel Series Store online and select your hoodie size. Hoodies are unisex, and a size chart will be provided to help you find the perfect fit. When you place your order, you can choose to pick up your hoodie at the CAMBA offices in Hayward, Wisconsin, or have it shipped to you free of charge.
