Gravel Growlers - draft for discussion
We're WAITINGUntil the Covid-19 situation is under control, we're waiting to start our program. Be safe! Who we areWe are TBN road cyclists who like to ride on unpaved roads. This allows us to explore thousands of kilometres of quiet and beautiful terrain all around the province. We generally ride on roads within an hour's drive of Toronto. However, we sometimes go to more distant or remote corners of the province.
JOINING USWe welcome you to join us. Gravel riding is pretty rule free. That's part of the fun. But you will be more comfortable - and safer - with tire sizes north of 33mm. We do not ride with a "sweep". Thus, riders must be self-sufficient. Riders need to bring the map and cue sheet for the route, or download the route to their Garmin or smartphone device. Cycling helmets are required. Depending on the route and time of year, insect repellent may be a good idea. For more information, please contact the Gravel Growler coordinator, Ron Wilson, at gravelgrowlers@tbn.ca.

In the meantime, we are using the TBN Gravel Growlers Facebook group to schedule rides. See below.
TBN gravel growlers Facebook groupWe have a Facebook "private" group titled "TBN Gravel Growlers" which we we are currently using to schedule rides, typically on relatively short notice.
