Mark your calendars for the inaugural HellKaat Hundie - April 19 2014. That's West Michigan's only 100 mile gravel race. The back-roads of Hudsonville will host this ride with 3rd Coast Cycles as the hosting…
I'm hoping for a daylight finish... Big dream, perhaps, but that's my goal. JD
I'm in. See you in Kansas! JD
Me too! Good luck. JD
I join a night group ride every Monday for about 30-35 miles and I love it. It's a great way to enjoy the road with your focus on the road. As a training ride, you really learn to keep your attention close to the bike,…
Hi, Jack. Bib 70 - I was 71; we chatted at registration Friday night for a couple minutes. I finished 59 out of the 65 finishers. Despite my under the limit finish, I was allowed the time as opposed to a DNF. I spoke to…
A soul searing 57 miles in the wind and on muddy gravel today. Perhaps a DNF for me as I didn't average 15 MPH. Grrr. Anybody else ride this year? JD
Lowell 50 runs once in the spring and in the fall.
Practice mindfulness and meditation. Focus can indeed be difficult, but staying in the moment and about 30 feet ahead is the way to go. JD
Hmmm. I may have missed this when I added my very similar one... Perhaps they should be combined?
Here's this Saturday's ride. Cottage roads around a few lakes. http://connect.garmin.com/course/4994014 This is the front end of a larger ride that will take place later this season. John
Do tou have a Strava, Garmin or Map My Ride route to share?
I'll start. I try to ride gravel at least twice a week - Monday and Saturday. Saturday is for the longer, perhaps epic rides. Mondays I join a shop club ride in West Michigan and are they about 30-ish miles starting at…
A place to share a story or two about short rides or that epic you just completed.

For all the gear one needs to carry for the DK200, this is the place to shop, it seems. Nice looking gear. JD
Imma order some of those because they are sa-weet! JD
Cassettes and/or chain rings are all fun to change out in anticipation of a specific ride. There was nothing new in this article for me. I will add, however, it should be linked to a site for folk just starting out on…
I need a gravel bike. My problem is I cannot fit tires wider than, say 28mm on my road bike. I like riding gravel in the rain and my road bike won't do it. I'll spin the rear wheel remaining in the saddle. I get…
Gravel bike. It speaks to the designed function of the bike. A 'cross bike has features for its designed purpose and as gravel riding evolves most specifically the bikes will become specific to the sport; I like "gravel…
