Gravelcurious? Ready to get off the beaten path? Planning to do your first gravel race?
This event is for you. Come ready to ride. After a brief chat on what you need to know, we will head out for some thrills, drills and skills, then a chill ride around the beltline trails.
This event is open to all 2024 LDCC Members and anyone interested in learning more about the club or gravel riding. Bring a friend.
Important : Helmets are mandatory and please ensure that your bike is in fully functioning order.
What type of Bike? :
A Gravel or Cyclocross Bike is ideal. Given we are often on rough surfaces, doing steep climbs and yes… even wandering into the woods, you will be need a bike that is capable of a handling a variety of conditions, included pavement, gravel, dirt, sand, off-road trails, etc. Some contemporary road bikes will have the capacity to run wider treaded tire and may be suitable. A mountain bike might also be suitable on some rides, but we do find that on long gravel stretches and when speeds increase (depending on the ride), a mountain bike will be completely out-geared and not able to keep up.
