Please download the RWGPS File to your navigation device prior to the ride. If you don't have a navigation device, check out the cue sheet in the RWGPS app so you are familiar with the ride route. We expect to maintain a "B" (15-17mph overall, flats 19+) pace, and will regroup as necessary, but we will drop no one. The goal is to finish with the same number of riders that we start with. Safety is always a priority on a group ride. Please do your best to remain predictable...point out obstacles, call out passing and follow all traffic rules. Being seen is also critical to safe riding, please have operational front and rear lights. Check out your bike prior to the ride as our rides are self supported, hence riders must bring the tools and supplies necessary to effect roadside repairs. Don't forget water and any snacks / fuel you feel you will need. If you have any questions regarding this ride please contact Joe Vigue at 802-522-2839. Hope you are able to join us!

- 5:30pC+2222.022.00Monday Meander: Back to GravelSteven Perrin
We're back to our roots and our spring gravel routes as well. That's worth rooting for. This week we will spend most of the ride on gravel roads we've travelled before. We start with Gulf road and we transit the base of Wantastequit. From there, the only paved part of the ride, on the beautiful Oxbow road in Hinsdale. We then move up the spiderweb and return to Chesterfield. Now, I added a little section through the eastern edge of Pisgah State Park but we will eschew this fine section if light is getting scarce.
Please bring lights. The woods may get a little dim towards the end of this adventure and you really need to be able to discern between a fellow rider and a hungry bear. We will regroup frequently.
