Bill Brier and I thinking about doing a bit of gravel as part of the Dart Pop. If your interested joining a team and get a little dusty then please ping me. I don't have a route yet but if we do gravel it will probably be pretty tame unless folks want more adventure.

We will also be down in the Patagonia, AZ area the week before doing some road/gravel riding if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Im only flying down with my road bike and dont have gravel experience so will have to pass on it.  Sounds fun!

There are some really nice gravel rides out of Patagonia! If you're looking for any route suggestions, just let me know what distance/difficulty you're looking for. Keep an eye on the weather. Recent rain before you ride will make your ride far less enjoyable than you'd like. That is also early Feb at 4000'-5000' elevation. Pack some warm clothes.

We didn't get any takers for gravel, so Bill and I are looking to join up with others who still need teammates. We can add 1–3 people to our group, or we're happy to join an existing team if you have room. Happy to discuss/negotiate amount of climbing/pace/etc.

I'm glad to serve as captain and plan the route, but I'm also fine just being a member.

Thanks

Grant

I'd like to be your third wheel.

I've been trying to form a team that uses the Highland Tour 'sample' route, but I'm
giving up on that due to lack of interest/response. Either the route -or me- seems to
be radioactive. I'm not.

LMK,

Sound like we have another team formed, I will email you folks (Bill & David) directly to continue the discussion on route and team name.  

We have two spots open if anyone wants to join us.

Thanks
