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

Saturday 9:00 am start; from The Commons (875 NW Brooks St)
Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3492669944017320992
44 miles, Elevation Gain: ~2900 ft. Plenty of twists and turns with ups and downs so it will help to have the route downloaded. The route starts uphill right away.
This will be a 'C+' ride gravel pace (15-16 mph) with periodic re-groups at tops of climbs, tricky junctions and major road crossings. 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.
