Ride Saturday and Sunday
We are changing our format again this year in an effort to allow everyone attending to not feel so pressured meeting times to take off on rides. We learn more and more each year as we get feedback from riders post event.
There will be multiple led rides by various groups
some will do the whole AT
some will only do portions of the AT to save legs for JUMP JAM Saturday night
Last year we had several rides leading out at different times with different routes. We'll have maps, although making sure you have Trailforks downloaded and our area is key. If we do not fall within your local area then look at MTBProject as it is still free.
Warrick County Gravel Group Ride!
Come join us on Wednesday nights in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Rides will be 17-19 miles with just over 1,000 feet of climbing on the hills and backroads of Warrick County between Boonville and Lynnville. We will meet on the side of Bateman Road near Wesley Road next to the cemetery. Try to get there a few minutes early to make sure you’re ready to go by 6!
Gravel, Cyclocross, or Mountain Bikes are required! We strongly recommend 38c, 1.50", or larger width tires for this route! If you're not sure if your bike is acceptable for the ride please don't hesitate to ask us!
YOU MUST BRING A TAIL LIGHT AND A HEAD LIGHT! This ride ends in in low light during the Spring and Fall months.
Want to make sure you know the route incase you get separated from the group? You can view the routes on the “Where to Ride” page on this website. We do #1 and #2 Warrick Gravel routes. If you cannot hold a 13-15 mph pace on gravel (that is around a 17-20mph equivalent on a road bike) please wait until we host a slower no drop gravel ride in the future.
If you like to ride faster than our posted pace feel free to break off the front and ride to your hearts content. Better yet, invite your other fast friends to the ride to ride fast with you! ALL ARE WELCOME on this ride, but the main group will stay together at the advertised pace of 12-13 mph
If you have any questions or need advice on gear come in or call us at the shop! Also please see the Facebook Event page for more info.
