Recap: Scioto Trails Gravel Ride: Beginner Ride

25+ cyclists for beginner ride at Scioto Trail SP. Temps in the 30’s and sunny for most of the day. Full route was 30 miles. I ended with 25 miles and 2500+ feet of climbing with a shortcut to catchup after riding sweep for the first part of the ride. Gravel roads were dry and fast which was surprising with the amount of rain that the area received the day before. We had a saddle that was slipping, some brakes that were braking too well and a downshift that derailed a derailleur. Great day in the saddle.
