Ride Musquodobit Gravel
Details
We'll meet at the corner of Lays Lake Road and Hwy 357 for a 10 AM start.
Please try to arrive a few minutes early. The first 1-2km will be on paved road (low traffic), a good warm up for the main event. :)
This route is approximately 43 km. See the RWG link here: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/136422830
I rode this route last week. It's a mix of hard, crushed gravel and some loose rock. My bike had 700x32c tires without much grip, definitely not a proper gravel tire, and I felt fine for 95% of the route. The other 5% I just walked. It took me about 3.5 hours (including 40 minutes of rest). There is some riding on Hwy 357. See the map for details.
There was no water and hardly any mud. I did pass a few ATVs, but they were respectful and slowed down near me. I've been in this area several times and have enjoyed it every time.
Please bring the essentials: water, snacks, spare tube, pump, rear tail light
Looking forward to it! Please let me know if you have any questions, this is my first time organizing a Meetup.
