Gravel Rides
Sunday is MVBC gravel day
Each Sunday we will meet at 10:00 AM (9:00 AM starting June 6) at a location not far from Corvallis for a gravel ride. There is both a short and a longer route planned each week, starting from the same location. Ride with GPS routes, cue sheets, and directions to starting locations are available on the “Sundays” tab on the MVBC Ride Schedule.

Each ride has a designated leader and no participant will be left behind. Fast riders are welcome to ride ahead, but they are on their own.
Tires at least 40mm wide are recommended. Wider is better.
Bring your own flat repair kit, a helmet, water, and snacks or lunch.
Practice social distancing and wear a mask whenever appropriate.
