Pink Gravel Campsites are located on Block 31. These are level, pull through RV/Camper sites with water and 20/30/50 amp hookups. Washout & Dump Station on property. Plenty of green space for tent camping or bikepacking. The Event Center will be open Friday evening through Saturday afternoon for access to bathrooms, showers, store bike, or sleeping if weather is too cold or rainy - bring ear plugs, cot, or air mattress if you want to sleep inside.
Arrive on Friday anytime after 5pm. Snacks and drinks available that evening.
Saturday, October 5th:
8:00 am to 9:00 am to unload, check in & sign a participant waiver if one was not signed at registration.
9:30 am - Riders line up for a picture, a few words said and roll out.
The route is gravel/dirt and consists of one checkpoint and one oasis.
If it just isn't your day, there are built in options to shave a few miles or take pavement back to town.
The route will be posted to the website on or by Friday, the day before the event. An email will go out with details, route link and etc once registration is closed. Routes are all created via Ride With GPS. ROUTE - not available yet.
We do ask all folks to wear a helmet and ENJOY the ride. The focus is on social verses "being first". Take a couple moments to stop at an intersection and let others catch up. Take pictures! Don't just ride by and think you should stop, "Do It!"
Meal will be ready by 11:30 am by Pink Gravel volunteers. This consist of the traditional Chill Ride Chili with toppings/stir ins, cinnamon rolls, misc snacks and drinks. There will also be adult beverages.
