All the details HERE. Like a Thesaurus... get it?!
Come on out to the Vernal, Utah, to ride one of three Jurassic gravel routes in the Dirty Dino Gravel Race. Enjoy spectacular vistas, tons of dino puns, and the friendliest bunch of riders.
Come get Jurass-kicked on 1 of the 3 amazing routes through the High Uinta Mountains. You'll experience a Rawr-some rush, as the gravel is T-riffic and the scenery is no eyeSAUR, but make sure you train for this one... you don't want a Mega-Saur-Ass.
