Southern Arizona has already earned a reputation as one of the most compelling gravel cycling regions in the Southwest.

Patagonia and Santa Cruz County have helped lead the way.

Travel east into Cochise County, however, and the riding begins to tell a different story.

That is the opportunity we see in Douglas.

When you come to Douglas for BorderLands Gravel, you arrive in the depths of Cochise County, a place defined by rugged landscapes, storied history, and miles upon miles of backroads that beg to be explored.

For cyclists, this is a dream terrain.
