Ride #3 has been rescheduled to Sunday October 16.
Join Thank Gravel It's Friday and Rapha Boulder for the Far Out Gravel Adventure Series, a set of three gnarly gravel rides into the mountains of Boulder Colorado. Each ride will be around 60-80 miles with 6,000+ ft of elevation, plenty of dirt, technical single track, and steep rocky climbs... a far out ride not for the faint of heart. Reach all 5 checkpoints during each ride (plus a chance for an extra bonus point), and collect your points throughout the series. When you register, you will receive a number. Don't forget your number, you will use it to collect your points.
The last ride is Sunday October 16. Roll from Rapha at 9:00am, and we'll have a neutral roll out to the first climb. From there, you can ride at your own pace or with friends, and finish the challenge on your own time. Each checkpoint will be indicated on the route, and when you arrive to each check point, you must find the book, and rip out the page that corresponds with your number. Don't loose the page, you'll drop off all your pages at Rapha after the ride.
Our good friends at Rapha will be stationed at checkpoint #3, make sure to stop and check out the task they have in store for you. If you complete it, post it, and tag TGIF & Rapha and hashtag #faroutgravel, you will earn an extra point.
Rock your best 80s attire, neon, leg warmers, mesh, and mullets...best spirited from each ride and riders will the most points by the end of the series will win some sick prizes.
Ride #1 - Saturday June 11
Ride #2 - Saturday July 30
Ride #3 - Saturday Sept 10 (Rescheduled to October 16)
After the series, we'll get together for an evening of grub and hangs at Rapha Boulder where awards will be given out for collective points. Everyone has a chance to win something.
You will be asked to sign the liability waiver prior to the ride.
