10:00 AM 36mi #4 Patoka Elementry School 5600 W Patoka School Rd, Eckerty, IN 47116
    Patoka Gravel Adventure Ride. Get ready for an adventure! This ride will be ridden on a variety of road surfaces, so expect to bring a cross, mtb or other bike that can handle larger treaded tires. Part of the adventure is that the roads will be mostly unknown, as even the ride captain will likely not have seen them before, so expect to be rerouted if roads are closed or impassible, ideally we will stay together as a group so nobody gets lost (or at least nobody is lost alone). Things to expect: pavement, gravel, dirt, mud, water crossings, trees down across roads, stores that aren't actually open. Roads without signs, roads that disappear into nothingness and require bushwacking through the woods to reach where the road reappears on the other side. Be prepared: bring enough food and water to handle the expected mileage and then some. Tools and such to fix any problems that you may have. Be prepared to push your bike up some impossibly steep, boulder strewn roads. Most of all be prepared to have fun!

    Triple Crown of JMF - Cue sheets provided, ride WILL be swept. There are three (3) hard/significant climbs in Jefferson Memorial Forest on this ride. Jefferson Hill, Holsclaw Hill and Skyview Rd. The hardest climb is the last one, Skyview which gets your attention at mile 30 of an already tough ride. Once done with Skyview, the remaining 15 miles are easy compared to the previous 30 miles. If this sounds a little over dramatic, it is a bit, but not by much. Ask anyone who has ridden this route.Please ask if you need more information or assistance. Restrooms and hydration are available at ride start/end location.
