Raid Lamoille was created way back in 2012 by the fertile minds at GRVL Cycling as a gravel ride to share with our friends. Since then it has become a Vermont classic, a must-do for serious gravel cyclists. Originally out of Stowe, in 2018 we moved to Craftsbury.
With route options of 55 and 25 miles there’s something for everybody! See Route info below. On either loop we’ll take through the Vermont countryside, down twisty descents, by mountain streams and serve up a heaping helping of some of the best gravel riding to be found anywhere. Did we mention hills? Oh, we’ve got quite a few of those for you too!
Our post-ride celebration is renowned. With a fantastic spread provided by the Craftsbury General Store and ice cold beer and cider from regional craft brewers it’s not to be missed.
So say Lamoille like a local, “lah-moyle”, and sign on to ride!

The Stowe Jewish Film Festival returns for its 7th season in 2022!
This year’s theme: The Jewish Experience: a multiplicity of cultures, languages, countries, traditions and colors. Patterns of immigration have taken Jews all over the world, melding and merging, creating hybrid cultures and complex identities.
About UnRaveling
“Did Pancho Villa really try to kill my grandfather? And if so, why?” In unraveling this mystery, filmmaker Stacey Ravel Abarbanel delves into memory, history, and contemporary life in the border town of Columbus, New Mexico, famed for being raided in 1916 by Villa’s army during the Mexican Revolution. While scholars have long debated why Villa attacked the village, one rumor persists: he was angry at Sam Ravel—a Jewish immigrant and local merchant—over an arms deal gone wrong. This probing-yet-delightful journey unfolds during the annual raid memorials, including the Cabalgata Binacional Villista, a magnificent cavalcade of equestrians who journey through Mexico for weeks in Villa’s hoof steps to join American riders on the border, turning the memory of a bloodbath into a festival of friendship. Broadening the mainstream narratives of both Jewish immigration and the borderlands, UnRaveling reveals an unusual personal history while examining broader, longstanding sagas about the border region—geopolitics, family, immigration, commerce, and culture, then and now.
