The same week, in fewer days
Most people who want to ride the Graveler and don't are stopped by the calendar, not the miles. Half-Grav exists for them: you get the camp, the towns, the food and the music, and you are back at your desk sooner.

Fewer days off work, and a smaller bill
Join us in Helena on the afternoon of Thursday 8 October for the King Biscuit Blues Festival, with packet pickup at the Storm Creek Day-Use Area next door, then ride Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October — Helena to Stuttgart for the duck calling, and Stuttgart to the finish in Arkansas City.
The part nobody shortens
You Still Get
Helena.
Half-Grav is built so that the shorter week still contains the day everybody talks about — the low road into Helena on 8 October, and the King Biscuit Blues Festival with admission included. The evenings, the food and the towns are identical. You are doing the same event, for less of it.
