Texas Chainring Massacre The Legend Continues. Kick off the Season Texas. Since 2010, the Texas Chainring Massacre has been the undisputed traditional kickoff to the gravel racing season. This isn't just a ride; it's a rite of passage. Over the years, the brutal beauty of this course has attracted the absolute best in the sport—DK/Unbound Champions, Gravel Worlds winners, National Champs, Grand Prix competitors, and even a 7-time Tour de France winner have all come to test their mettle here. Now it's your turn to add your name to the history books. The Course & Vibe Get ready for a true Texas gravel experience. The routes are primarily on public gravel roads that demand respect. A road bike is NOT appropriate for this event. You will need equipment capable of handling rugged, unpaved terrain. Please remember: the roads are open to traffic. All riders are expected to abide by the Texas Transportation Code. Route Options & Format We offer three distances, but only one is the main event.
