This will be the first in a series of 4 beginner gravel rides. Please note that it is important to be ready for introductory information at 9:45 am. We will discuss the route and gravel riding protocol. Be on time.
This is a short easy introduction to true gravel roads. It is ideal for the pure novice or early stage beginner but can be used as a ride season starter for more experienced riders. This route is almost 50/50 road/gravel. We will plan a number of stop/regroup points to check on riders' comfort levels on the gravel. There will be no coffee/rest stops but we will have breaks along the route as needed.
