Getting Ready

Will and I 

Heading up Fox Rd

Elk Road

Not sure it's really a road

More like an old Right of Way

Sage Road, more like a right of way

Then there is the gravel part

First Rest Stop

That Ricola moment

Second Rest stop

Pickles!

Rolling through Bear Town State Forest

The signature hill climb

Last rest stop and more pickles!

F2G2: Fall Foliage Gravel Grinder

This a repost from my official write up of the event on my Cycling Blog, Cyclesnack.com, because I made a big push over the weekend to lay down more dirt tracks on the Gravle Guide and I think I found all the good dirt west of Becket, MA.  One of things that I discovered doing is that if a picture is online it can be imbedded into the route descriptions, hence the reason for this post.

Getting ready

My Randommuter:  Surly Cross Check

Plenty of Gravle

 Can't ride without a Cue Sheet because a GPS is not always reliable

More Gravle

 And more Gravle

Fancy Bikes, too

Lots of rest stops on the Gravle

And other stops, too!

Cronk!

What a view

We are in Bavaria

It does go through!

Coming down George Cannon is a lot more fun

I see Schemmerhorn Hill!

Anderson Vista

Widow White's Peak was off in the distant

Mount Greylock off to the right
