Loudoun 1725 Gravel Grinder

[sjclaeys]

Done, signed up for the 80 mile route, though will see how I feel after going to Wolf Trap the night before.

Hmmm. It appears that I own a gravel bike… I wonder how well it fits on one of my friends bike racks.

Hmmm. It seems I own a cross bike that doubles as a gravel bike…and a bike rack. I wonder how well they fit on one of my friend’s cars?

Hmmm. It seems I have a car with a 3-bike rack … and sadly, another bike-related commitment that Sunday afternoon. I wonder how well my friends would look sitting behind the steering wheel of my car?

Hmmmm. I have a steering wheel. I wonder how well it fits on my friends’ backs?

I like where this is going. Have I ever steered you guys wrong? It is going to be an amazing day. The routes that were picked go on some of my favourite roads.

Come ride bikes with me! 😎

Cool – I used to live at 33697 Snickersville Turnpike when I was a little kid (though the ride routes won’t quite reach Bluemont.)
Question though — seems a cruel joke — when you visit the event website to view the 3 possible routes, they ALL show the 80m map
{Edit – I notified the webmaster, and they’ve now fixed the 2 faulty maps.}

I have a car, a rack and a gravel-capable bike … and a music gig that’s not going to get me home until 2 AM the night before. Hmmm, I gotta think about that.

Casey, have they booked the entertainment for the after-party yet?

Gravel and accordion are a perfect pair.

Doh. I have a gravel bike and also the same bike related commitment that Sunday.

I have a gravel bike, vehicle & a bike rack & will be going to THIS bike event. Wonder if I have any bike friends who will ride with me???

What’s the group consensus on whether my pedelec assist bike would be suitable for this kind of riding? (29×2.0 tires, with a fairly upright posture.)

I have a car, no bike rack, and potentially a bike (which just barely fits into the car with the back seats folded down.)

No idea… But I might be down to sing a few tunes with you!

It’ll work. I’m running 29×2.0 semislick tires (or bigger) on my mountain bike for the event. My wife will have 26×2.0 semislick tires on a mountain bike. Your pedelec is icing on the cake.

I just registered for the 80 mile. I will have a car and room for another person and bike. Judd, still need a ride?
