Travel Gravel

Looks like there is a 60+ mile gravel ride in the planning stages for this Sunday. Everyone is welcome. The current nutjob - err rider list is Cory, Other Paul, Greg Moore, Matt, and me. The more, the merrier. Let us know if you are coming, as important details (like when we are leaving, and from where) are still being hammered out.

I promise to wear a helmet this time.

I say we try to leave my house in Gilbert at 10:00 AM. This should get us to Ledges between 11:10-11:30 (20 miles into the ride or so) depending on the wind. We can pick up Greg at the north eastern entrance.

Personally, my goal is to just ride nice and easy. On the hills you guys will smoke me. But, rides like this one should be good training for the hills around Decorah.

Questions? Call me at 515 233-3058

Paul -

That all sounds great too me. I'm looking for some quality base miles from this ride. I think our goals are the same.

I want to become a better climber, and hilly rides like this are on the road to that goal.

If I'm not the last one up the big climbs, I'll be very suprised. I'm just a fat old man on a bike, after all.
