The L!G!A! ride p/b District Cycleworks has been discontinued, a victim of its own success.
Here’s the message the organizers sent out at the beginning of October:
The last two editions of Lights! Gravel! Action! have brought to light some serious safety concerns about the ride, and its sustainability as we transition into shorter days and participants looking for a faster, training pace. Unfortunately, none of the leaders of L!G!A! have confidence that the ride can occur in its current state while also ensuring the safety of all riders, as well as other users of the towpath.
We will no longer be hosting Lights! Gravel! Action! and future editions are canceled. Perhaps we will be able to devise a different format or structure for the ride in the future that is sustainable and safe; if you have thoughts on this, please feel free to Reply All and let us know. We’ve enjoyed the good riding and great company (and Oreos) over the past two years, and will certainly see you all out on the road (or trail, or gravel, or dirt, or grass).
