Gravel Rides

Sunday is MVBC gravel day

Each Sunday we will meet at 10:00 AM 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.
