Glorious Gravel - 1st Edition

If you've not tried gravel, this is your chance! Join RBC for our first gravel specific group ride taking advantage of Loudoun County’s gravel network. Led by Ramsey Hanna, you'll go 59% unpaved and 41% paved.

Start is at Rust Library in Leesburg. Please park away from the library entrance so their patrons can get in/out. There’s a lot of street parking nearby.

This is no-drop. We will regroup as necessary so that folks new to gravel have a chance to enjoy it too! That said, this is a moderately challenging ride. Ramsey describes it this way: "The surfaces are reasonable nothing technical. There are 2 climbs at the start and a longer more gradual one later.  The only really "hardish" climb is Waterford. "

Food stop is at Sweet Rose Bakeshop in Purcellville. If you haven’t tried it, you’re in for a treat! (There is also a bathroom)

If you're an experienced gravel rider, why don't you come help convert riders to this awesome riding style! If enough people enjoy it, the Ride Leader promises a longer route in the future.
