Description: ***New this Season*** - The goal is to post a Travel Gravel ride once a month. The objective is to ride some gravel routes that are outside of our local area ~ generally within two hours of Ridgefield.
Our fifth Travel Gravel ride (28 miles, 57% unpaved) will be in the Putnam County area (about 60 minutes from Ridgefield). I haven't done this route so no guidance other than there's a good amount of elevation (3K). Final climb is up Sunken Mine Road, which I expect may have some washed out conditions considering that this road is closed between Dec-April. Sounds fun. Let's Gravel To Nowhere & Beyond!
Meeting place is a parking lot on the corner of Dennytown Road and Sunken Mine Road. Please arrive 15 minutes before and have the route downloaded.
RIDERS MUST HAVE GRAVEL TIRES. "Recommended" tire width would be 38mm or larger. No road tires allowed on this ride. Riders with road tires will not be checked in and will not be covered under club insurance. Please have route downloaded.
Start Time: 10:00 am
Skill Level: B and above
Asphalt Pace: 13 -16 mph average
Gravel Pace: 6-12 mph average (Terrain dependent)
Route: Putnam Gravel Goodness Long
