About this event

This is one of Deb's favorite rides - nice for folks just dipping their toes into dirt/gravel road riding.

Roughly 35 miles, this is an even mix of pavement and gravel roads. Although the 2 mile stretch up 4 Mile Rd involves traffic, the rest of the ride will see only very occasional cars. Don't be thrown by the route name (somebody long before me came up with the moniker!), this ride is quite easy.

Friendly gravel and the occasional stretches of washboard and/or few potholes will benefit from wider tires - 35mm or wider is fine, 42mm ideal. A MTB would be overkill - especially on the rolling road hills around Arbutus Lake...

So it doesn't get much easier than this folks. If you're "gravel curious", c'mon out and see what riding (mostly) traffic free is all about!

This is a No Drop ride...
