I started these up earlier in the summer.

This Saturday

8am

Starts in the Stowe bike path parking lot across from Black Cap coffee (but we do not ride the bike path).

95% gravel ride including a class 5 section

Aggressive ride with a strong group. Lots of climbing. Really fun ride.

This is about a 2 hour ride.

Trying to gauge whether or not I'm likely to get dropped - what is total mileage and elevation for this likely 2 hour ride?

Thanks,
Daniel in the NEK

Hey Daniel
I'm not going to lie it is a fast group. Most do gravel grinders and get into the breakaways in those. It's about 30 miles with just under 3000 ft of gain. About 2 hours if we are hammering.

Ha! That's just under double the elevation for my regular "training" route, which, I generally complete in just under 2 hours ... 1000' per 10 miles @ 15mph avg. is approaching manly territory, that's for sure.
