Columbus Day Gravel Ride
Details
Dust off those bikes and dry off the weekend rain! (We'll keep it fairly short and sweet for those of you who have lives off the bike, lol.)
We are heading out for the gravel this coming Monday, October 12, for an epic morning of exploration.
Since it’s Columbus Day, we are channeling our inner explorers to discover some brand-new-to-DEC paths. Thankfully, our navigation should be much better than Christopher’s—mostly because we actually know where we are going (we hope).
After a completely washed-out, soggy weekend, the weather gods will finally smile upon us. We are looking at absolute perfection in the forecast, making it the ultimate excuse to skip chores and skip out into the wild.
