Commons Gravel Ride - Saturday June 27th at 9:00 am

[Tim Smith]

Saturday 9:00 am start; from The Commons (875 NW Brooks St)

Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3505353444745609090

43 miles, Elevation Gain: ~3800  ft.  Familiar uphill start with a loop around OB Riley and Johnson then making our through Shevlin Park and then up into the forest with a loop around the Meissner gravel.

This will be a 'C+' ride gravel pace (14-15 mph) with periodic re-groups at tops of climbs, tricky junctions.  Plus if you're not sure which way to go at a junction, especially on the gravel, more riders are likely in the same boat, so slow up a bit.

This is not a no-drop ride but the group also does its best to keep things together.

If you can, hang out for post-ride beverages and snacks at Sparrow Mercado which is where the route file finishes.

* This is a group of friends getting together for a ride, this is not an official event. By showing up and participating, you take full responsibility for yourself and your actions and fully accept the risks of riding in a group and on open roads.
