Join our weekly Friday T-shirt gravel ride. Starting at Rayback Collective at 5:30pm and return for some hangs, food and drink.
This week, we are headed up Bow Mountain. Expect a mix of trafficked paved road, bike path, loose and technical single track, steep rocky climbs, fast road descents, and dirt roads. Pace will be moderate.
Know the route! We will have a couple spots to regroup, however, this is NOT a ‘no drop’ ride. There will be 2 regroup spots to stop for the majority of the group to stay together. The first will be after we cross 36. After making a left on 36, we will make a right on Broadway and stop to ensure everyone has crossed 36 safely. No need to take chances when crossing to stay with the group. Only cross when safe and we will wait on Broadway before continuing to Lee Hill. The 2nd regroup spot will be at the top of Bow Mountain to add a layer before descending Linden. This ride may 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. The group may split up, but we can all meet back at Rayback after. Be prepared with the route loaded on your bike computer.
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.
