Cycle Connect 417 is hosting a women's gravel group ride on the evening of Tuesday, June 20th - with ice cream to follow! There are many great gravel roads in the 417 area to explore, and some of the best routes require a bit of a drive to get there...like this one! It's not too far from Springfield, but getting out on this gravel will make you feel like you've found a little slice of rural heaven.

There will be two route options: a 25-miler and a 15-miler. Routes are to be posted soon.

PLEASE BRING LIGHTS AS WE COULD END THE RIDE IN THE DARK. But really, this is one of our favorite ways to experience gravel. You'll agree by the end of the night, too, and have some sweet sunset pics to show for it. Did I mention ICE CREAM afterward?!?

Please come prepared with your own water and food, and ensure ahead of time that your bike is in proper working condition (air, brakes, chain, tires, derailleur). If in doubt, we have GREAT bike shops in town that are happy to tune up your bike for a small fee.
