Louisgnont Short Course – Gravel

Description

Overview:
This is another tour with a long drive (45 minutes from downtown) but it is a nice area to explore. The route is almost all gravel over a range of well used (log trucks!) and little used gravel roads. We take on a BIG climb early on but the rest is rolling downhill through remote areas.

Water:
None available on the route.

Gravel Bike:
You do need a real gravel bike or mountain bike for this ride. The gravel is pretty good so you can probably get by with gravel tires 35mm or larger (I’ll be riding 40mm

Maps:
For much of this ride we are in a network of unmarked, gravel roads. Paper maps and cue sheets will definitely NOT work and will not be provided. I encourage everyone to use the RideWithGPS on their smart phone for directions while riding. Provided you don’t ride off ahead of the group, I’ll make sure no one gets lost.
