Chilly but sunny tomorrow. We can this route on the fly if we like.

This route is 60% gravel and touches most of the gravel roads in the Bedminster area.  Because the route is never too far from the start there are plenty of opportunities to cut it short in case of bad weather (or bad legs).GPS file and an optional food/coffee stop may also be posted. IMPORTANT: Appropriate Mountain, gravel, cyclocross, or Fat tire bike is required along with spare tubes, tools, fender, ect. No road bikes. Friendly and proper ride etiquette when encountering pedestrians, equestrians, an occasional tractor or motorist MUST be observed. Contact the ride leader if you have any questions. 2: John Parsekian, Bill Kolanoscheduled
