The route:
- Longer route option (76-miles - larger tire recommended)
- Riders are encouraged to ride with similarly paced riders.
- The Fort Follies will be leading a mid-paced (13-15mph) for femme & non-binary cyclists. It will not be no-drop, rather there will be occasional stops to regroup.
- The Long Route Segment -If you’re the fastest guy or gal on this segment, on the day, you will win a Castelli Espresso 2 Jersey AND bibs. You must upload your ride to Strava by EOD and we’ll sort by date to see who went fastest on the day.
- This will be a longer day without water refill access. We will potentially hide some water out on course but will communicate that closer tot the ride day.
- Shorter route option (36 miles & Trail Day!!)
- This route includes the Valley Trails in Lory State Park and Bay-to-Bay trail.
- Riders are encouraged to ride with similarly paced riders. While it will not be no-drop, there will also be a lanterne rouge to make sure everyone makes it back ok
- June'’s Lanterne Rouge will be B Steele, co-founder of Queer+ Bikes. Queer+ Bikes is a LGBTQ-centered, ally-welcoming cycling and community group celebrating all bodies, genders, and experiences. They reduce barriers to cycling through a community gear closet, partner events, educational opportunities, and monthly group rides. Queer+ Bikes values creating community just as much as they love riding bikes.
