  • All Date/Route Specific Details will be on BIKEREG.COM only…  See Notes Page! for lack of confusion and ease of last minute updates.
  • -Thanks for checking out our event. We have created two routes for each of these group rides. One around 40 miles, one around 25 miles. Hopefully that creates something for most folks to enjoy. Come out and get a taste of this “GRAVEL” everyone is talking about. Lots of details below, don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!
  • -These are unsupported “drop” group rides. You are given the GPS file for the course and it is your responsibility to navigate it and get yourself back to your car. People might group up, but there is no sweep, SAG or mechanical support. GPS computer or phone navigation mandatory (with enough battery power to last up to 4 hours). Q-sheets may be unreliable because many streets don’t have street signs on them in gravel country.
  • -Each Saturday is a new location. Two route options exist each week you can select whichever sounds better to you, you may update your registration to change routes. Sometimes they share many of the same roads, other times not, so don’t count on a mid ride bail-out within the planned routes.
  • -For the “Gravel Heavy” helping expect a 3-4 hour ride depending on your pace. “Gravel Lite” 2 hours ish. Come prepared with plenty of water, food and mechanical gear. There are no services or gas stations on these routes typically so don’t count on a resupply. For me that’s two bottles, a couple bars, and a couple gels, extra chamois cream, a tube, patch kit, tire plug kit, tire levers, multi tool, and CO2 or a Pump.
  • -Clothing: dress for the weather. April can be any kind of weather. You will be far from your car a rain shell, arm or leg warmers, etc. are a good idea if weather looks unpredictable.
  • -Bicycle: gravel bikes (obv..), cyclocross bikes and mountain bikes are all acceptable tools for these routes. A 32c tire minimum is recommended.
  • -Why buy the cow when I’m giving you the milk for free? I don’t want to keep gravel a secret in WNY, I want to share it. I also want everyone to know exactly what they are signing up for. Your $10 “donation” goes to help the CCC cover insurance costs for all our free (to you) events. Lastly, even though these are not “no-drop” group rides I’m hoping we get a critical mass so that everyone who wants to ride with others has that opportunity.

Thanks for stopping by, we hope to see you out there!
