Sunday Not-the-P2A Gravel Ride | April 28th 9:00 AM
Ride is on – we can turn back if it gets too yucky. I am offering a local gravel ride for the few of us who chose to not spend a bunch of money (more than the annual GCC membership fee!) to ride a not particularly scenic route with a couple thousand other people :…

Sunday Gravel Ride | November 5 11:00 AM (Standard time!)
Update: We are starting at 11:00 AM. We haven’t been down to the lovely Hilton Falls trails for awhile, so here’s a bit of an out-back to get there. Trying to keep the distance reasonable, as although it’s going to be a relatively nice day for November, as many of you know, I am a…

Sunday Gravel Ride | Oct 22nd 11:00 AM
Update #2: I have posted the new shorter (50k) and more sheltered route. We will be doing quite a bit of in-town trails again, but I’ve tried to make some changes and add some new stuff from last week’s ride. With much disappointment, we have cancelled the planned BGR#2 up in Beaver Valley. It’s just…

Sunday Gravel Ride ERIN | September 01 9:00AM
Another remote start! It’s only a short drive to ride some awesome, and rather hilly gravel roads. Meet at the back parking lot (near the tennis courts) behind Center 2000 in Erin for a 9-am start. The route is a bit shorter than typical, but don’t be fooled, it’s to compensate for the elevation gains.…
