GrabeL is an iteration of the Filipino word, GRABE, which is often used to express a strong emotion of surprise or disbelief. It can be translated to English as “wow”, “amazing” or “unbelievable.” Used in a ride context, grabe is also used to describe extreme or amazing ride situations or conditions.

GrabeL is a gravel cycling series that will take participants through lush landscapes and breathtaking scenery, leaving everyone in awe of what each host venue has to offer.

We want everyone to leave with one word in mind–GRABE!

Grabel San Vicente is a two-day gravel adventure ride through the backroads of San Vicente, Palawan. Both days start and end at The Hotel Elizabeth Resort in Barangay San Isidro.

Set up your bike for a mix of terrain because you will be traveling through a mix of paved roads, dirt roads and abandoned forest roads. We recommend using the widest tires possible for your bike. Please note that SLICK OR SEMI-SLICK TIRES ARE NOT ALLOWED for safety reasons.

Registration is limited to 150 riders only.

South San Vicente

Day One of GrabeL San Vicente, in contrast to the north route, takes participants inland through mountainous forest roads to Port Barton in the south. While most of the 74km route skirts the coastline, it traverses more inland trails and participants will find themselves exploring a combination of old logging roads, double tracks and paved roads. Be prepared for more climbing as this route has a total of 1,000 meters of elevation gain.
