CLUB Ride – Gravel Event Preview

9:45 am – bikes roll
54 mi, 3085' climbing, partial gravel
Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/29440584
Ride leaders, John W. & Jack C.

Join us in previewing the Huffmaster Hopper route(short) –  scout the route and train in prep for the BIG event on April 20th, a limited race/ride with proceeds benefiting the Campfire relief efforts.
Our Preview CLUB Ride on the 24th is partially graveled, FREE and with NO support, so come prepared with all the fuel, water and flat-fixings. Ride leaders will assist in regroups as needed and minor mechanicals. Download the route onto your Garmin or print the cue sheet from the route link. Again, come prepared.
Nasty weather will cancel and be communicated via Club Email and the FB Event on Chico Area Group Rides.
If time allows on the 24th, we'll organize to meet afterward for food in Maxwell.

NVRC... will travel for gravel! :-)
