Finger Lakes of NY gravel ride - the Filthy Fillmore

Details
June 30th! 8:00am departure
Well this is the fifth installment of 'my' gravel ride and the third time riding this route. Those who have done this ride before will tell you it's not easy, but it is fun (type 2 fun where you think it's fun some of the time and forget about the pain after!)

This ride is not:
Competitive
Timed
Marked (I might mark turns if I have time/help)
Marshalled
Supported (unless you help find some volunteers)
Sagged (see above)
Authorised
Endorsed
Insured
Sponsored (I am actually open to this, but it may be more of a hassle than it's worth.)
etc

This ride IS
Self supported
No-Drop (within reason - I'll likely be one of the slower riders up hills, but please recognize your own limitations.)
Fun
Painful
Exciting
Full of beautiful CNY back roads you've likely never ridden on.
Most of all FREE!

We are planning to leave promptly at 8am, not 8:10, not 8:20, so if you plan to ride with us please be ready to ride at 7:50, when there will be a brief discussion of the route and cue sheets (I will print enough for those say 'yes' AND those who indicate 'maybe' hopefully that will be enough) If you are bringing someone along who isn't on Facebook, please let me know in the comments so I can print a cue sheet for them.

The 'Standard' Route (Short loop, plus Bear Swamp loop, plus birthplace spur): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/14658007 - new gravel sector for 2018
(32mm tire minimum recommend, bigger rocks means bigger tires)

Initial Short loop route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/14531265 (fairly road bike friendly)

The shortest version of the route would be 31ish miles skipping the Millard Fillmore birthplace https://ridewithgps.com/routes/22515321

Two new routes, one for those of you who wanted more (more distance, more climbing, more pain and suffering- the 'Big Hill' loop)

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27175140 (the 'Standard plus 'Big Hill' loop.)

and to mix it up the short loop plus the new 'big hill' loop:

https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27401426

I'm again willing to rent a pavilion at Fillmore Glen and plan an informal picnic for after the ride if there is interest. Bring a dish to pass if you are able and would like to join us. I'll have a grill for you to use if you bring food to grill.

Be prepared to fix flats and carry extra water due to the heat!

RSVP on Ride With GPS or via Facebook

I added the event on Ride With GPS so that if you don't use or want to use Facebook, you can RSVP there.

Also updated routes so they now clearly show how each route overlaps. Ride with friends off and on all day and still 'choose your own adventure'!

This looks like a blast! I'm not going to be there in June, but I'm moving back to the area (Northern PA) this summer. Is this an annual ride? Are there any similar rides in the fall?

Not typically in my area of NY, too many cyclocross races to conflict with.
