Grumpy Grind 6 - April 22, 2018 - NW IL

Ride will be approximately 80 miles, with as much gravel as can be strung together, and a bit of dirt/grass as well. Start is about 6 miles south of the Driftless Area. The course changes every year but when I last did the ride (2016) we had about 20 miles of riding in the Driftless. Many folks lacked low enough gears for several of the hills. I had a 39/25 low gear and had to struggle over several and walk one. There is no entry fee but pre-registration by mail is requested.

Read today that the ride is going to be 86 miles and that the mid ride check point will at Wishful Acres microbrewery. I've been there, it's a true mom and pop operation.
