The Gravel Cycling Community of Tifton invites you to our premier FREE Gravel Cycling Event in South Georgia. The 5th annual "Laughing Donkey Gravel Invitational" is a FREE gravel adventure supported by sponsors and donors. We only ask that you consider donating to our cause (No t-shirts after November 2nd).

We offer a variety of distances: (80, 60mi, 40mi, 25mi, 15mi) with two aid stations to support your ride.

The Laughing Donkey supports the Anthony Bateman Youth Center Scholarship Foundation. The money raised will fund scholarships for dedicated local students pursuing post-secondary education. Please share this event with your favorite friends. 

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please email us at laughingdonkeygravel@gmail.com.
