I'll be there with a contingent from the Houston Gravel Grinders group. That forecast just says we need to hump it and get the ride done before the rain hits.
I rode the course 2 weeks ago. Decent. about 50% gravel. Not the largest, loosest gravel that I am used to around the Houston area. Was planning something closer to a road tire except the possible rain. So, will stick with Small Block 8s. There is 1 washout maybe 30 miles in. Not a problem. See it coming and can ride around it. Looking forward to it. |

I hope I can finish before the rain hits. Weisan, what bike will you be riding. If I see you I'd like to say hello.
I'll be on a black Cannondale Slate. -Mick |

Mick pal, I hope to see you and say hello to you too.
I will either ... ...be on my blue surly trucker with the big fat Compass Switch back hills tires, with front and rear panniers racks painted the same color - you can't miss it. Or....I will be on the blue d2r2 gravel bike with Panaracer Pasela 35mm tires w/o fenders. The final decision will be made tomorrow morning, looking at the weather and whether I want to keep it slow and easy on the back or try to beat the rain by staying with the fast group.

Weisan,
Considering the forecast, I wish I had fenders. I'll keep an eye out for a light blue bike. There's a good chance it will be you. I hope to meet up with the Houston Gravel Grinders as well. I've been wanting to do one of their rides. -Mick |

Let me offer you another tip that might make it easier for you to identify me...I will have cameras mounted in the front and in the back...also, I will most likely be starting earlier on my own and riding ahead so that the front group will catch me at some point and I can capture video of everyone that eventually will pass me at some point.

It was nice to meet you on the ride today, Weisan. I looked for you at the finish but didn't see you. I hope you had a good ride.

Sorry, I was parked at the state park, and went straight back to my car after the ride. It was quite a ride with the rain and all, it wasn't too bad.
