Brand new year of Winter Wednesdays! Here we go for Wednesday, January 2nd. We'll roll from the Washago Pond sled hill area of Willow at 6:30 pm and will follow the DCC GG 2 route down into Monroe County and back up for 27 miles. Pace will be dictated by the group, keeping in mind that I've been out of the saddle for a while. There will be paved roads, paved paths, single track and dirt roads, so bring anything fatter than a road bike, preferably CX or wider. Fat bikes are welcome.

Good lights will be a necessity for the entire ride.

Welcome back folks!

We will roll at an earlier 5:30 this week from the Foxwoods area of Lower Huron.

We will ride at a moderate pace that will be no faster than the slowest rider, unless you want to ride ahead. We will follow route GG 3 which can be found here.

Equipment of choice is MTB or fattie.

On Tuesday night, the gravel roads were amazingly white, sticky and sparkly. We're hoping for more of the same.
