Lakeville, CT — Domestique Events is proud to announce the return of the Lime Rock Park Epic presented by Specialized, taking place on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at the iconic Lime Rock Park in Connecticut’s Litchfield County. Known for its covered bridges, waterfalls, and quiet dirt roads framed by early fall foliage, this gravel fondo has become a signature event on the Northeast cycling calendar.

Riders of all experience levels are invited to take part in perhaps the most beautiful ride in the Northeast and enjoy fully supported routes, locally sourced food, and a chef-prepared post-ride meal.

Three fully supported route options are available:

● The Epic (70 mi / 5,200 ft): 20 sectors, 5 timed segments, and a mix of ridges, rivers, and challenging climbs—built for strong riders and team competition.

● The Explorer (55 mi / 3,700 ft): A less intense but still-demanding ride, featuring 4 timed segments and the best parts of the northern course.

● The Express (25 mi / 1,000 ft): A welcoming ride for newer gravel cyclists with five scenic sectors, support from ride leaders, and no timed segments.

All routes begin and end with a lap on the famous raceway and feature scenic gravel sectors, homemade food, and the aforementioned meal.

“Whether you’re chasing the podium or just soaking in the foliage, the Lime Rock Park Epic delivers a one-of-a-kind fall ride,” said Event Director Richard Fries of Domestique Events.

E-bikes are welcome on the Explorer and Express routes (non-competitive). Epic riders may also enter the Berkshire Cup, a team competition based on timed segment results.

All Riders Receive:
● Chip timing (Epic & Explorer)
● Free parking, SAG support, mechanical assistance
● Homemade rest stop food (vegan/GF options)
● Chef-prepared buffet + drink ticket
● Souvenir pint glass + podium awards
