Update: Sunday the 11th is Mother's Day. If I ride on the 11th, I'll be riding with leg casts the rest of the year. We'll push this to the 18th instead.
I'm planning a gravel metric on Sunday 5/18. I need to ride some miles with the new fitting before Dirty Kanza and I need to get some hills in as well. I'm thinking of leaving Hy-Vee on Grand and EPTrue sometime between 7 and 7:30 (possibly meeting for breakfast/coffee first) and go through Raccoon River park, make our way out towards Booneville, and then south towards Winterset to get some hills in, and then either ride the same route in reverse or find another way home. Comment below if you are interested. I'll work on getting something planned out on routeslip or the like within the next week or so.
Preliminary route is located
here Should be no real surprises on this route. I can promise that we won't be riding much, if any shoulders for the majority of this ride. :)
