Come ride some Bedminster gravel with Team Hilltop Offroad November 3.

[Sven Migot]

Don't worry too much about the pace. It's not a fixed number. Emphasis on "social", but not beginner pace. NO DROP.
We'll adjust the ride as needed based on the group and divide the group if it makes it more fun for everyone.
It also depends on the condition of the gravel roads. Last time I rode there the washboards were ROUGH.

Trying to recruit some OOS to make a "B" group so we will see how this goes.
Downloaded the route to my Garmin so I assume we can find way.
Prolly try to meet at the same time/place to meet and greet.

Hmm....interested. I’m slow on my plus bike

If there's a "B" group, I'll join.

If you go on the @Mare45 ride ... I will get my bike ready one way or the other.... at worst... will ride my RDO or Fredkenbike.

Just an fyi, I haven't 100% committed to this yet. My back has been hurting so I am deciding last minute with everything these days.

 

[Mare]

Oops! I forgot I did commit to Allaire TM and BBQ that day. Damn it--why do all the fun things happen on the same day?

 

[seanrunnette]

Sheesh. I sign up for https://rocknroadgravelseries.com/, THEN this gets posted.

They still are ROUGH.

Indeed. They've been less fun lately!!

Are Gravel bikes allowed on this ride, or are they too slow?

 

[xc62701]

If you pick your lines there are smooth patches through most of the nasty ones.

 

[Steve Vai]

I know these roads like the back of my hand.

Yes, gravel bikes are allowed. Even bikes with 2.4" tires that some say are gravel bikes, but others might consider mountain bikes. Who cares? Let's ride!!!

I don't want Dave to beat me up if I don't show up on a 25 year old 24inch rigid single speed beach cruiser.

I do own an original Klein Attitude, but it's too pretty to ever get dirty. I also have a Trek 1220 from like 1995, maybe that's old enough? It has STI shifters though which I think is against the rules.
