What to expect: This is a fun, no-frills training ride designed to build power and hype for the most rad race of the season! We'll tackle a mix of terrain with about 80% gravel, 15% doubletrack, and 5% pavement.
All routes begin with a neutral 4-mile rollout on the Clinton River Trail until the Letica/Parkdale intersection. This is a chill, no-drop pace (18 mph max.) to warm up and ensure we respect the other trail users. We'll come to a complete stop at all road crossings if the entire group can't make it through safely.
