Big Red gravel ride (Easier/Adv Beg)
June 19, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
This is an “easier” gravel ride from the folks at Dirty Freehub. It is around 17 miles and under 500′ of elevation gain. It is a mix of paved roads, gravel roads, and single track. The single track section is in the LaPine State park and is mostly smooth with some occasional rocks and roots. This route has a lot of nice views of both the Deschutes and Fall rivers. We will be riding at a casual (slow-ish?) pace. This ride is suitable for gravel bikes or mountain bike (no e-bikes). You can read the full description on the Dirty Freehub website.
