We often ride in areas so dense with possible routes that our route designers shake their heads and say, “We should just create a few solid route options and provide a local map so riders can build their own great adventures. And better yet, let’s make that map interactive and navigable!” Introducing Gravelplex—a highly curated map of a specific area that highlights all the great riding roads for a gravel adventure: quiet paved roads, gravel roads, and some of the more primitive but fun dirt roads. Our first Gravelplex map features the Tygh Valley/Dufur region in Oregon.
These maps will be hosted on Avenza, our favorite “in the field” navigation tool. So, along with exploring our first Gravelplex map, join us to learn how to use Avenza as an outstanding navigation resource. Who should attend? Map nerds and non–map nerds alike—anyone who wants to create their own adventure built on the experiences of the Dirty Freehub Team.
Beginning in mid-spring 2026, GravelPlex maps will be offered as a premium benefit for members. Webinar attendees will receive complimentary access to this new product. (Further details about membership are available in our 2025 Impact Report.)
Kevin English, the designer of the Gravelplex map, will lead this interactive webinar.
