Group Gravel, Shindagin Part II: Thursday May 2

[Rob Joyce]

Hi all --

We had a great turnout last week, and this Thursday's weather looks even better than last week's. We're gradually building up to longer routes, still in the Brooktondale / Shindagin area at the moment, but we'll branch out soon.

Pre-ride clinic: If you're new or new-ish to gravel and have questions, I'm happy to host another quick clinic starting at 5:30. Let me know off-list that you're coming and I'll be sure to be there early. If nobody RSVP's for the clinic, we'll just plan for the normal 6pm start.

Mailing list: If you're getting this via the main FLCC list and are interested in future gravel rides, make sure to sign up for the flcc-gravel list at https://groups.google.com/g/flcc-gravel  ... after next week, we'll keep announcements to that list only.

Details:

- Start Time: Thursday, May 2, ready to roll at 6:00pm

- Start Location: Shindagin Hollow parking lot on Braley Hill Road, https://goo.gl/maps/cPWV7r2U1bEzpxoH9

- Route: Shindagin > Hurd > Downey > Leonard, https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37625843

- Stats: 13.3 mi, +/- 1,345 feet

- After: bring whatever snack / beverage you like for chatting in the parking lot

What to expect:

This route starts off on some of the same hard-packed dirt roads as last week, but then turns up Hurd Hill Road for a gravelly climb. If you can make it up Leonard, you can do this! We then turn on to South Road for a bit of pavement (and more climbing), then descend on mostly-gravel Downey Road. Finally, a quick jaunt up Leonard and back to the lot for socializing.

Quick note: the bugs are out in Shindagin! Bring repellent if the thought of swatting bugs in front of your face isn't appealing.

Get out and ride!

Hello Folks,

Is there anybody leaving from the Cornell area (and heading to the Thursday night ride) who might have room for a passenger and an extra bike by chance?

Cheers,

Wayne BK
