About this event
A fall gravel event I've wanted to participate in, but the organizers have put the race on indefinite hiatus. So, with the weather promising to be absolutely epic (so far), join me for a ride around last years' course. Beautiful gravel roads, minimal traffic, and smoked fish and pasties at the finish!
Just north of the bridge, this is (roughly) 2-1/2 hrs up, 4-5 hrs riding, and 2-1/2 hrs back. A full day for sure, but one to tell your friends about...
Meet at the Brevort Township Fairgrounds, with roll-out at 10am. Goes without saying this is a 2 bottle ride, with an opportunity to top up at mile 48 (when we pass the start point headed south), or to end it there and bypass the southern loop entirely if you're feeling gassed. But bring a snack or two as there aren't any convenience store options.
Check the RwGPS link to last years' course, and scan the following YouTube vid for an on-bike account from one of the 66 mile podium finishers:

Nothing too steep, and it doesn't appear to have any DEEP sand - so a typical gravel or MTB setup should be sufficient...
If you're intrigued, shoot me a text or email before the start time - so I know whether I'll have any company on this! Hope to see you there...
