Calling all femme, trans, women, and non-binary cyclists who are gravel-curious: join our very own BFF & gravel-er extraordinaire, Gillian, for a morning of coffee & conversation about all things gravel. Specifically, we’ll be highlighting the Rough Road 100 at this event! They're looking to increase their FTWNB field at this event, so Gillian will speak to her experience as a woman entering the gravelling community when it was just starting. We also will have Anne Marie Oswald from xXx Racing here to talk about her experiences racing!
In addition to chattin’ about the RR100, we will talk about other events coming up and help answer each other’s questions on specific races. A great opportunity to find out about other races or ask questions about a race you are considering.
Not only is it free, but we will also have prizes to raffle off (including free entries to RR100 😮)!!! So stop by for a cozy morning filled with prizes, learning and fun! Can’t make the early start? Stop by during the day to ask questions & enter the raffle!
About Rough Road 100
This is an ALL inclusive event, we want you to try something new, challenge yourself, find like minded folks and have a whole lot of FUN doing it!
Conceived in 2014, the Rough Road 100 is a Spring Classic inspired road/gravel bike event. From the beginning we wanted to create a community of welcoming cyclists and become a Midwest yearly staple for cyclists of all varieties. Distances of 60 and 40 miles make coming out of a Winter slumber a great opportunity to stretch your legs and start your cycling season off right! Whether that includes a bunch of races or rides we want you, and your friends, out here to share these roads and our hometown.
Early April in the Midwest is always a weather gamble; snow, rain, wind, sunny, balmy, it's part of the fun and part of the challenge to experience that camaraderie with those who toed the line!
