9 cyclists. 34 miles. 3300 ft climbing. Gravel was pretty fast for the most part. Three loops in the route took us around Lake Hope, up to the ridge from Zaleski where we had lunch and coffee outside and a loop that included Moonville Tunnel. Temps in 70's and low 80's and sunny. Some of the group jumped in the lake at the end to cool off.
