Dirty South Gravel Grinder Series

Do you have information, pre-ride details or post-ride pictures, share on this thread.

From the Promoter:

“The first of the three ride Dirty South series has the date locked in. This route has been dialed in by two guys who eat gravel for breakfast. I’ve ridden the route and it is more than worthy of a Dirty South. The ride will start and finish at the Fort Massac State Park in Metropolis IL.

Dates for round two and three are still getting finalized, but plan on one ride in Jan, one in Feb and one in March. Rounds two and three will be held in the Harrisburg area and in the Carbondale area. These rides are free and will have a cue sheet for the route. The routes are near 62 miles of hills, gravel, maybe some trail and will feel like a hard 100 miles on on a road ride. The gravels down here are always loose and always soft. They are abusive to your legs. If you plan to ride the dirty series, start getting ready now.”
