Group Gravel Ride: Brothers, 37 miles with 1,700 Feet of Gain

Straight East of Bend is the “town” of Brothers and 10 min down a dirt road is where we start this route. There’s a whole lot of nothing besides open vistas, cows, and sagebrush. If that sounds like your gig, then join the Dirty Freehub team for this fun adventure on our new Little Brother route. Here's the Ride Guide: https://dirtyfreehub.org/routes/oregon/little-brother/

Do NOT use Meetup to find us on the map. See the Ride Guide. (We are parking at the corner of Camp Creek Road and Merrill Road. ) To find other people to ride with, just add a note into the comments section including if you can drive or are looking to ride with someone else and approximately where you live. (Always easy to meet at Barnes & Noble on the East side of Bend.)

Our ride is not meant to be a race but a social outing. After all, it’s nice to chat and get to know other people. The goal is to have fun, meet other people, and sneak in a ride. We will regroup at major intersections.
You MUST have the route downloaded and are able to use your device or phone. I plan on riding about 11 mph. We will pull out of the start, exactly on the posted start time. eBikes are welcome.

If the weather takes a dive, you can assume we are canceling but we will also post a message on the Meetup page.

Sorry to say, but this is NOT a no drop ride. (Gosh, there are a lot of NOs in that last sentence.) but we WILL regroup a few times. This ride is also unsupported.

Text or call Linda at 541 550 8930 with any questions.
