This Sunday, 5/30 I’m hosting a mill your way around the lake century (ish). There’s no clear route other than we will circumvent Lake Minnetonka. I’ll ride as fast as the slowest among us (although everyone should feel free to go off and explore themselves if they want to pickup the pace). We will stop for food, drinks and what have you when we see fit. A good chunk of this ride will be on gravel paths and roads (think farm roads), so make sure you bring a bike that you feel comfortable taking rocks on. Your new 8k race bike might be a bad plan. I have no doubt in my mind we will get lost, and turn down most any road that looks interesting.
Since there is no route planned other than go around the lake plan for plus or minus twenty miles. This is a support yourself ride, very laid back. If you’ve got an attitude or a chip on your shoulder you should find something else to do. Meet at CRC at 9:00 AM on Sunday morning. If you only want to come for part of the ride and bail when you have to, thats cool too, come for whatever you can. It’s sure to be a good time.
The real goal of this ride is to find gravel routes close enough for a weekly group ride for the newly forming Team Gravel. More on that later.
