Gravel Biking in the Blue Ridge

OVERVIEW

Have you ever been on a road bike and thought: “wow, these tires are too small”? How about a mountain bike thinking: “wow, this really hurts my arms”? Well do we have the trip for you. Meet gravel biking, where all of your bike dreams come true. This one entails a mix of 60% pavement and 40% gravel, mostly hard pack. We’ll start out at the Grit in Crozet (transportation from Shrack provided by yours truly) and endeavor (pun intended) on an eighteen-miler together. Bring water and a snack and a great attitude! We will bring first aid and multitools. Yay! It’ll be 1600-ish feet of climbing, and a bit of experience on longer rides will help. Feel free to text if you’re wary. Also, here’s the GPS route, if that’s your kind of thing: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38466307

Keep shredding until we see you on Sunday.
