  1. Will this ride include a quick water stop? And will the ride leader be on a bike with tires wider than 28's? Thanks.

  3. We don't have a planned water stop. But if you need water, when we hit Woodland and 223 we can break into Spring Hill for water if needed. I have done this ride on 2 bottles though.

    The routs is pretty smooth (for gravel). I will be running 35's, but have been on the route before with a rider on a road bike with 25's. Not ideal, but it worked. You should be ok with 28's.
