You ever just wanna go camping and ride some gravel with your friends? Yeah, us too. That's why we started this bike-ride-with-a-party-in-the-woods. This is a ride, not a race! We know that "gravel racing" is a thing now, but we haven't been racing since 2015 and don't plan on starting to either.

RAD! Gravel Ride: DogGann

RAD! Gravel Ride: DogGann

⏰ What time does it start?

We'll gather at 9am for pre-ride instructions & expectations. Wheels rolling at 9:30am!

🚗 Where do I park?

Bridge of Dreams Trailhead Parking lot, 15791-, 15799 Main St, Brinkhaven, OH 43006

🚵‍♀️ What kind of bike should I ride?

Gravel or cyclocross bikes are ideal & offer added frame clearance for tires with widths of 35-50mm. They also offer lower gear ranges than road bikes which allow for climbing steeper grades, which is very common on Ohio gravel routes. Mountain bikes may also be a great option as they offer additional control over handling multiple road surfaces & sometimes tricky descents.

🚲 Can I ride a traditional road bike?

Most road bikes are missing two key components: tire clearance & low gear ranges. This doesn’t make riding a road bike impossible, but can significantly impact your enjoyment & potentially your safety.

🔧 What should I bring to have a successful ride?

Gravel riding is the adventurous cousin of road riding & is often much closer to mountain biking. You should plan to be self-sufficient with maintenance needs including flat tires & minor adjustments on the bike. An inflation kit & a multi-tool are a must.

🍎 Snacks and hydration.

Gravel routes often cover rural & remote areas with little opportunity for water & nutrition stops. Plan to bring enough for your entire ride & maybe a bit extra for a friend (just in case).

Is there SAG support.

Dy definition, Gravel Rides are typically self supported. Each individual rider is responsible for packing the food, water, gear, and clothing needed for the safe navigation and completion of the ride in their own time. However if you’ve ever done one of our roll: or OGG events in the past you know we are all a friendly bunch of riders who pride ourselves on helping, encouraging and assisting each other. We look forward to sharing in a rewarding and enjoyable day on the bike together!
