GLGA Gravel Worlds 2010, more teasers...

Maybe on August 21st it won't be hot, humid, or windy...or maybe monkey's will fly out of my butt.

GLGA Gravel Worlds 2010!!! Are you ready?

Gravel Worlds is less than a month away. Are you ready? Probably not. Why? This course is bigger, nastier, & more beautiful than last year's edition. Expect approximately 150 miles of amazing Nebraska gravel. Here are a few recon pictures to wet the appetite...

Ponca Ride!

2007 Ponca Ride two track goodness

SATURDAY JULY 17th

Ride is leaving D Street at 4 AM sharp. 155 miles of gravel, dirt and minimal pavement up to Ponca State Park. We will stop in North Bend (~65 miles) at the Corner Cafe for brunch. A few other stops will be made along the way to refuel. Bring cash!

We will be camping Saturday night. Showers are available at the park. Things to bring for camping include a tent, sleeping bag, pillow, your blanky, change of clothes, bug spray, illumination device, food and a camp chair.

Ride back to Lincoln for those that choose to do so on Sunday. You must find someone to sag your gear and take you back to Lincoln if you decide to go. Please make arrangements accordingly.
