Please join us for the kickoff of our 5th season of the Iowa Gravel Project Weekly gravel rides!
We will start this season off with a few of our flatter locations to give everyone some time to shake out the legs from the off season.
These will be run as "regroup" rides. We try to stick together in our groups but do often get a bit strung out. Each group will be making a couple stops during the night to regroup before continuing along. This makes for a fun group ride where you can get a good workout in but not be concerned with getting left behind. We will have 3 different groups/distances for the majority of the year. The speed of the group will be fluid but increases with the increased distance.
All Bodies on Bikes Route - 10 miles
Short Route - 20 miles
Long Route - 30 miles
This is meant to be a social ride. It's a great way to meet the local gravel community face to face in a more relaxed setting than you would see if you were at a race. We will have a rotating starting location each week around the Des Moines metro area. This lets us take advantage of the variety of gravel we have around Central Iowa.
After each ride, the group will have a place to hangout and socialize over food and drinks!
We will gather at Reclaimed Rails afterwards for our first week!
