Season Opening Week – Advanced Beginner Gravel – Water and Lava
April 12, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Spring is here and we are all eager to get out on our bikes! We are not able to have our annual Spring Fling to kick off the riding season but we can have an unofficial opening week with several rides to get everyone excited to get out and ride.
This will be an advanced beginner gravel ride – Water and Lava. 10:00 am roll out – back between 12:30-1:00 pm. This will be an easier version of the Dirty Freehub Water & Lava ride. This ride will be about 20 miles with about 700 feet of elevation gain. It eliminates the section that goes to the Lava Lands visitor center and up Lava Butte. This ride is appropriate for gravel/cross bikes or mountain bikes.
