GravelFest Results

Below is the results for the 2015 Dirt Bag GravelFest out of French Lake. Please let me know if there are any corrections.
A hardy well done to all those who showed and attempted and especially those who finished. The road conditions literally changed overnight with the rains as the hardpacked gravel became soft and the going got tough.
That's the beauty and dynamics of gravel racing as the road can change just like the scenery.
I hope you all had fun and were challenged.

Dirt Bag GravelFest Update

Just letting you all know that I'll have info up at least by early evening for the ride tomorrow.
Here is the link to the MapMyRide file if you want to download and/or look at the courses.GravelFest Courses.

I am taking walk up registrations.

More to follow,

ps: Cue Sheets are done

Dirt Bag GravelFest Course Update

My grandson and I did a little recon of the course this morning and we can report that the previous course as posted on MapMyRide had a couple of errors on the long course which will be corrected by COB Friday. Look for the GPX file then.

Gravel conditions: mostly hardpack with loose stones on top. There are some soft sections and washboard as well. Only a couple ruts from the washouts of Sundays rain. So far not too much dust was kicked up by the vehicle but if there is no precip between now and Saturday, expect some dust.

Views great, corn shoulder high, traffic minimal, no dogs came out to challenge.

Lanttos store knows we are coming. Roller dogs available.

Parking will be in the Town Hall lot the entrance being off of CR 3 south of the main intersection on the west side of road. Hopefully, I'll remember to post a sign.

Bring water. First Thirst station for the long riders will be when you roll through the Start/Finish 30 miles in.

GravelFest Update

I'll be heading up to Winnipeg for the folk festival in a couple days then plan on pre-riding the course to assure all roads and bridges are still there.
Parking is available in the town hall lot and Casey Weber has graciously allowed us to use his lawn and shade for chillin'.
Rollout will be 9am for both courses. 
Hope to see your bright shining faces.
