GRAVEL 201 CLINIC SPRING 2024
GRAVEL 201 CLINIC SPRING 2024
May 25, 2024
Campfire Endurance and Brave Endeavors provide the second in our Gravel Education Series, following up to the Gravel 101 Clnic April 20th (attending 101 is NOT a prerequisite for 201).
While 101 introduced the basic skills of gravel, 201 makes it more real, taking YOU on a glorious ride on the famous Japanese Hollow gravel route just south of The Dalles, Oregon.
Our goal is to provide a intermediate-friendly session aimed at helping gravel cyclists elevate their riding and racing skills on mixed terrain by building confidence and comfort on a variety of surface types and technical features. And HAVE FUN! We will teach advanced bike handling skills on gravel and dirt to assist with climbing, descending, cornering, wheel lifts, and steep transitions.
This event is sanctioned by the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association, which requires that participants hold either an OBRA Annual License OR an OBRA one-day license. If you are not an annual OBRA license holder, you will need to purchase a one-day license at checkout.
