Gravel Happy Hour
THIRD SUNDAY OF THE MONTH
What is Gravel Happy Hour?
A monthly group ride, predicated on community building, garnering a greater understanding and comfort in absurdist gravel riding, and creating casual dirt vibes. Gravel Happy Hour. Come join the CSG crew starting in October 2024, for a day of Capitol Forest meandering. We’ll be finding our way through our favorite dirt roads, gravel paths, vague byways, overgrown single track, and nonsensical hike a bike's (they’re worth it. We promise.) to showcase our favorite aspects of Capitol Forest and help foster a greater comfort with the forest and it’s many, many, secrets. ​
​
These rides won’t be “easy”, but they won’t be fast either, so come with a base, and we’ll handle the rest. ​Routes will be posted at the bottom of the page.
WHEN:
THIRD SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, MEETING LOCATION AND TIME TBA UPON ROUTE ANNOUNCEMENT.
