Women Crush Wednesday is our weekly t-shirt ride, just for women. It’s a space for women to socialize, crush, and simply ride gravel bikes and have fun.
And in true Thank Gravel It’s Friday style, a space to rip trails in t-shirts, flannels, and anything else that transforms our mindset. A space that you can show up as yourself, feel welcome, challenge yourself, and leave feeling full. We don’t race to win, this is a space to show up to support friends, express ourselves, meet new people, and celebrate the good times gravel riding brings us.
Sun is out and so we’re headed up! We’ll take Sunshine Canyon to Poorman, down 4 Mile Canyon, up the Canyon bike path to Chapman, then down Flagstaff. Expect steep climbs, loose gravel, fast twisty descents, traffic roads, and some slush on Chapman. We will re-group at the bottom of Poorman before turning left onto 4 mile, and at the top of Chapman before descending Flagstaff.
Know the route! We will have a couple spots to regroup, however, this is NOT a ‘no drop’ ride. This ride will require technical bike handling skills and may not be suitable for beginner riders. We will have a leader to guide the group and maintain a moderate pace, but will not have specific sweeps. There will be a couple re-group stops. The group may split up, but we can all meet back at Rayback after. Make sure you have all the nutrition, water, tools, lights, and gear you need to finish the route.
Please DO NOT park in the Rayback parking lot, we are asking that you either ride in or park on Glenwood Drive and ride the bike path to the start. Rayback Collective is easily accessible from the Goose Creek bike path. Stay after for some food, drinks, and hangs.
