Join Thank Gravel It's Friday and Ostroy for the Far Out Gravel Adventure Series, a set of two gnarly gravel rides into the mountains of Boulder Colorado. Each ride will be around 60-80 miles with 6-9000 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 to win prizes and beer at the end of the ride. When you register, you will receive a number the day before the ride with the route. Don't forget your number, you will use it to collect your points.
Meet at Sanitas Brewing at 8:30am for coffee, roll at 9am for 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 Sanitas after the ride. We will have one official aid station on the route provided by Skratch Labs and Carbs Fuel with a few more spots to refuel on your own along the way, but these rides are self supported so please come prepared with food, water, and tools. The Gold Hill Store will be featured on every ride as well; so stop and grab water, soda and snacks there too!
Rock your best 80s attire, neon, leg warmers, mesh, and mullets...best spirited and best dressed will be entered into a raffle to win some sick prizes from Ostroy! We will also have an award for the “Lanterne Rouge” or last rider to finish all five checkpoints and complete the ride before Sanitas Brewing closes at 10pm.
