This month's installment in our Gravel Road Ride Series will take us on more rail right-of-way, but we'll stick to the gravel/dirt aside the tracks this time. If we're lucky there may be some underground riding. Either way we'll head to "The Zone" for several circuits of dirt and gravel. XXXracing used to use this for cyclocross training back in the day.See More

Saturday April 21st, 9am to 1pm. Meet at Shop, eat beforehand at Lula or your kitchen. This month's ride will include a ten mile stretch of railroad bed, several miles of bike path, and the remainder on street, for a round-trip of 22miles. Most of the railroad bed is quite enjoyable, but a two mile stretch is rough and bouncy untamed ballast. I rode it Saturday the 6th, with 45 psi in my 'cross tires and was fine. There's also quite a bit of glass up there, but with a careful line I managed to…See More

Barry-Roubaix, Gravel Metric, Trans-Iowa. These all sound like a blast, but they're far away. Come on a ride with us and explore some gnarly gravel here in Chicago. We'll meet in Logan Square and ride at a moderate pace. Route is yet to be determined, as ground cover changes, but most likely will involve abandoned rail lines and bike paths. Bring some snack food and a bike made for hard riding- touring bike, cyclocross, or mountain bike will be fine.See More
