Shop Ride - 15/4/23 - Gravel/Adventure Ride

After the extra rain this week we think we will give the MTB trails a miss this weekend and head out on the gravel bikes!

So we will be heading out into the Kiwarrak State Forest to do the Seven Mile road loop and then coming back along the highway.

We will be leaving from the Wynter Tavern at 2:30pm and will end the ride back there with a nice cold drink and maybe a feed.

When you come along to one of our rides be aware that they are RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Bourkes Bicycles take no responsibility for any injury to yourself, a third party or for any damage to your bike/belongings. We highly recommend that you have your own personal health insurance or AusCycling membership to cover yourself.

Meeting Point: Wynter Tavern
Date: Saturday 15/4/23
Time: Rolling out at 2:30pm sharp
Difficulty: Approx 40km with around 500m climbing. Looking to do around a 15-20km average speed. See the map at the bottom of the post for an idea of the route. May not show on a mobile

What is a mixed terrain/gravel ride? Just like it sounds it is a ride on gravel roads!

This ride is for you if you have a bit of fitness behind you and bike that is suitable for gravel roads. During one of these rides you may encounter a variety of surfaces from asphalt to rough gravel roads and even the odd bit of single track, as well as a little bit of climbing.

Still an easy social pace with plenty of chance to rest and regroup.

Ride time of around 2-3 hours

You will need a bike in good working order, a helmet, enclosed footwear, gloves and plenty of water. Also bring along things you may need to keep you going. For example spare tube, tools, pump, etc
