I'll be revisiting the Hamilton Wetlands ride I led a few years ago. This is a B-paced, 48-mile, mostly-road route with some dirt/gravel thrown in.
Here's my description from the Ride with GPS route:
"A "gravel-lite" route exploring Indian Valley and the Hamilton Wetlands Trail. This is a good route to try if you want to check out the new-fangled gravel craze all the cool kids are talking about, but don't yet have a dedicated gravel bike – you can do this on your standard road bike. It features about 5 miles of gravel/dirt in its overall 48-mile duration."
I'll be doing this on my standard road bike with 25mm tires; no need to have an actual gravel bike.
Meet at 8:45 on Thursday Aug 25 at the River Front Cafe (2nd and B), and we'll roll at 9:00.
