In the last few years we have been hearing a lot of chatter about gravel Grinding, Ahhh yes, the red headed stepchild of road riding.  So I set out this season  to see what I could find for dirt roads in our area, and to my surprise, I have found a ton.. I can honestly say that I have become rather obsessive about it. Every ride trying to connecting another section of dirt road to another,and figuring out loops that all connect together. It has been a lot of fun,But,what I have noticed along the way has been the lack of any traffic.  Another bonus has been the great views of rolling farmlands, and scenery that is just plain amazing. It has really opened up a whole new element of riding that I think everyone should get out and and try

I know its only July, But #crossiscoming The first few Races have all ready started to hit Bikereg.com looks like The first date looks to be for August 24th. Cant wait for CX season... buttttt There are a bunch of other great events coming up. D2R2 is one that comes to mind along with the #Dirty40 and the overland GPX . These 3 Events are being regarded as the Holy week of gravel !BIG FUN.
 
  Now for some other rambling. The trails at #ramblinvewe are in great shape. The system has Gained a few new trails they are somewhat short but make for connectors, thanks to Mark. LP Gas. and a Tail with no Name! Also we did an extension on Moose quarry to get out of some ponding area at the bottom and we should have the top section of Farm junk tided up by the weekend!. All the trail systems seem to be in great condition and getting lots of use.
