This brings up a similar question: How much pavement can a gravel ride incorporate? I was gonna ride one in Massachusetts this year and the available info was vague about the route. I had to email the organizers to find…

Good move - thanks! Sorry it’s more work for someone.
I’ll second Zman’s endorsement. This is a good ride for a worthy cause. Good roads and nice views and the event has an unhurried, laid-back feel to it. I don’t know about the rest of the East Coast, but the Vermont…

I use a Third Eye glasses mirror, which took a while to get the hang of. At first I used it just for road riding and got it because I could just take it off for gravel riding. But now that I’m accustomed to it I feel at…
Thanks for straightening me out on the dates, Ry. I’m glad you’re sticking to Sept. for all the reasons you mention. I live in central VT so I’ll just enjoy the leaves from here!
Rode the 60K Sunday. It was a great riding day. This was my first organized ride and I don’t think I could have picked a better one. It had a nice laid-back feel with a good bunch of people; both riders and organizers.…
