Rode the Gravel Locos - Pueblo today.
Did the 62 miles with 3200’ elevation gain in 5:20.
Easily the most beautiful and fun gravel ride we’ve ever done.
All proceeds on all gravel locos go to local volunteer fir departments to buy trucks or add to the fire halls. Pretty cool
WOW that’s very impressive and great you are helping the firefighters. Last time I rode gravel I crossed a gravel road and immediately turned back on it. Was rewarded with a hill section I rode down a few times. I marked the location on my map app. Currently my bicycle is in the shop with a loud pedal crank squeak and the breaks housing are loose. Monday is a holiday here so I have no ride till Tuesday but then I want to start a big Autumn riding campaign and find more gravel.
I only had a bicycle when I lived in Santa Fe, NM. Once tried biking the road to the ski basin (Hyde Park road?). I finally quit on one extremely steep stretch. Santa Fe is 7000 feet elevation; Ski basin is somewhere around 11,000 feet.
