Hello all, I know it's hot, but if you're feeling cooped up come join me for another edition of Thursday Night Gravel.

Please note that this will be the last Thursday ride of the season. With shorter days we'll move to Sundays, beginning Sept. 13, at 1/1:30pm for the fall rides. We'll continue our 'Drive-n-Ride' series which has proven popular with riders and gets our eyes on some new country.

Also, Fairfield's Annual 'Harvest Rush' Gravel Ride is fast approaching so be sure to check it out here: https://iowagravelseries.com/fairfield/ and sign up. This year we'll have 50K (~32 mi.), and 100K (~64 mi.) distances and I'm dialing in the routes now and they're looking good!

We depart Chautauqua Park at 5:30pm today, Sept. 3rd.

See ya',
