The Gobbler Ride

Happy Thanksgiving!

A great time was had out at Clinton Lake State Park on Turkey Day. A hardy group of riders braved the very cold temps and enjoyed several hours of sweet single track. Until next years Gobbler Ride...

Gravel Grinding at Night

Our first night gravel grinder was a success. Turns out no one was afraid of the dark. Very nice evening for a ride with only a brief period of misty rain. By the end of evening the temps were perfect for riding.

Thanks to Tim Greene for organizing the ride. We had a great time and plan on hosting several more night rides later this year.

Here are some pictures from our evening of gravel grinding.
