Gravel Ride, Bend, 32 miles, 1,200 feet of climbing

With the smoke blowing in from LaPine, let's escape and head toward Sisters. Coffee run is an easier one with only 1,200 feet of climbing... plus we have a coffee stop at the turn around point. The start is at the Tumalo Reservoir.

If the weather takes a dive, you can assume we are canceling. If it's smokey, you can assume that as well. (Here's a website that will give you a live sensor in Plainview: https://aqi.espacelabs.us/)

Please make sure you have the route downloaded and are able to use your device. We plan on riding about 12 mph, however, you are welcome to jet ahead. We will pull out of the parking lot exactly on the posted start time. This route is advertised as no-ebikes but there's an easy way to skirt around the single track parts so feel free to join us.

Sorry to say, but this is NOT a no drop ride. (Gosh, there are a lot of NOs in that last sentence.) We do our best to help people into groups, but if you get dropped off the back, sorry. It just gets too dang confusing to hang onto people. Which means you need to have the route downloaded and know how to use your device. Yes, we already said that … but please……
