Baby Roubaix <21/02/21>

A gentle introduction to the joy of gravel grinders with four cafe/bars to relax, rejuvenate and rest at.

This is a great introduction to gravel riding, it is mostly flat 60ks with 13 gravel sections, there are a couple of easy climbs, a bit of highway and a number of quiet rural roads.

This will be a semi-supported, no drop, guided ride with plenty of cafe stops.

Perfect for the person who hasn’t ridden on gravel before and wants to in a no pressure group. Or just a social play with friends new and old. It’s not a race!

The cost will be $20 per person.
