Beechworth Gaol Break Gravel Ride Sunday 4 November 2018 Depart: Old Beechworth Gaol, 9am sharp (cafe open from 8:30am) Ride: About 60km with 1100 m of elevation gain, and approx 3 hours ride time Arrive: Bridge Road Brewers Beechworth, 12.30 onwards The Beechworth Gaol Break gravel ride is a 60km social ride linking in some of the best gravel sectors around Beechworth, with a few surprises thrown in. We’ll break out of the Gaol at 9am, flee to the hills and forests around Stanley, and then outrun the constabulary on the long downhill run back to town – to finish with a refreshing ale at Bridge Road Brewers. This ride is all about riding together – it’s a social ride, not a race. It’s also an unsupported ride on rural and forest roads, so you will need to carry your own water, food, spares and pump. We pass a cafe for refueling and coffee, or you can stock up with Old Beechworth Gaol Cafe cakes and cookies before you go. The ride is open to all comers but please consider your fitness level, the ride length and the elevation gain – there will be no sag wagon! We’ll be riding 90% gravel and dirt roads, with a bit of tarmac to link things together, and some secret single track to add to the adventure. We’re expecting most riders to ride together but we’ll supply you with a map and gpx file (to use in RidewithGPS or similar app on your phone) to help with navigation just in case. A cyclocross or gravel bike with 32+mm tyres or a cross country mountain bike is ideal – leave the road bike at home…! There’s no entry fee, however all riders must be MTBA members or purchase an MTBA recreation day permit for the event (available on the day, $10).
