GCC’s 4th Annual Big Gravel Ride! And like before, there will be sections that are unknown to most of you.
About the route: It’s 90 km long. The start and finish are at Fixed Gear Brewing, our sponsor. There are three speed groups each with a different start time, Fast, Moderate and Recreational. Sign up soon to ensure you get a spot! Several club members have ridden this already and given their seal of approval. The route is quite special (as always)!
