Family friendly. You choose the intensity from sightseeing to hard impact ride.
Individual meet ups and family group riding. EBC sets rides and routes for riders of all levels. The gravel/levee routes range from as little as 4-miles up to 20 or more.
EBC hosts will explain various route options ensuring you choose the right distance for your adventure.
Important:
There are no facilities, you will be out in nature, no traffic, and little shade. Come prepared with sunscreen, insect repellent, a hydration pack -or- 2-3 water bottles and your own repair kit.
Don’t forget your helmet, your face mask/gaiter and your bike.
Oh, and about your bike, please ensure your bike and tires are suitable for off-road/gravel roads. (MTB, Gravel, Cyclocross and most Hybrids). If you are not sure, please check with your local bike shop.
And remember to do an A-B-C Quick Check the night before the event.
A is for air pressure … you will want to adjust for gravel, lower tire pressure than road
C is for chain/cranks
Quick is for quick release
Check all of the above over before every ride
