Curious about gravel? Join our beginner gravel ride to learn what you need to know about this fun niche of cycling!
Beginner Ride
For this no-drop ride, we’re mixing it up with gravel ride along the DPRT. No previous group ride or gravel experience is necessary! We do, however, recommend having at least 28mm wide tires on your bike to stand up to gravel (wider is certainly welcome as well). We will have some of the Devote - Be Good editions at the ride to try (let us know - first come first serve). We will also be offering rides on a first come first serve basis & try to arrange car pooling as needed.
Before the ride starts we will go over the basics of ride safety, graveling techniques, the route & other important information. We will NOT be meeting at the shop, so plan on meeting us here for the starting point. Also, you can preview the ~18 mile route here.
Things You Will Need:
Bike (min 28mm tires)
Helmet
Flat repair kit
Phone & ID
Credit card or cash for coffee, etc
Water Bottles
While not required, we recommend wearing clipless shoes, a cycling jersey, and padded shorts.
Things We Will Have:
Water & snacks at the start
Experienced gravel guide, Gillian!
