Imagine this: You are riding your bike through the woods. The sunlight is streaming through the trees. The dirt trail meanders and you concentrate to avoid small obstacles. Sometimes, the trail leads you to a dirt road or pathway along an open field.
The wider tires of your gravel bike easily handle the terrain. Day-to-day concerns are forgotten. After your ride you get refreshments with your gravel friends. All of this is the joy of gravel.
This year we will continue our weekly Dirty Battle Road ride on Wednesday afternoons through Bedford, Lexington, and Concord. We are planning other rides, including some longer weekend rides. If you are interested in learning about gravel riding, please attend the Intro to Gravel Ride on April 20.
If you have questions, read up on our Gravel Pointers or contact a member of the CRW Gravel Committee - Amy Juodawlkis, Megan Scully, Hermin Miranda, Judy Keeley, or Sylvia Stoddart.
