Group Gravel Ride 3/7 Columbia Trail

[clarkenstein]

Is this going to be a ride that turns into a race or can I bring my SS roadie-type thing and still hang?

ps - sending speakers up with @jklett so you have to show.

Angry emoji because I wish you were coming.

What J said. These group rides are what you want them to be. We split into sub groups and allow folks to pick a place they like and be social with others. See you Saturday ?

As long as you bring a mostly functioning bicycle with round wheels, I think you'll be fine.

It looks like everyone is bringing the worst bike they have.

You can take pretty much any bike. If I didn't just spend all last weekend up at the inlaws (they live in Long Valley) I'd push to go this weekend and do the ride on my 90's Haro BMX. Next time.

Hey, why deathtrap? More like a contraption...I've got like 7 of them in different level of completeness (mostly frames + fork)...don't ask.

Looks like a hybrid/Citi SLX crank/chainring.

Mountain rings, I wanted to go more roadish, but was worried about clearance, Clarence.
