SUMMARY:Ride the Ravine for Hydrocephalus
DESCRIPTION:This gravel and road cycling event will begin at 8 a.m. on the morning of the famous Battle of the Ravine football game between Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University. If you plan to attend the game\, come early and enjoy an awesome ride in Southern Arkansas—you won’t be disappointed. After the ride\, stay for the post ride events which will include food\, drinks\, and entertainment. There will be rest stops on each route. \nThis isn’t a normal road ride and this isn’t a normal gravel ride. This is also not a race! This is a ride for those that love to ride their bicycle on quiet\, low-traffic county roads. \nThere are 4 route options in total.\n3 of the routes will have pavement and gravel.\nFor those pure roadies\, there is 1 route that is all pavement. \n“Groad” refers to a route that has both road (pavement) and gravel.\nGravel + Road = Groad \nThe links to each route is below. \nWe highly recommend downloading the route you plan to ride on your bike computer so you don’t get lost! While we will have the routes marked with signs/arrows\, but it’s always best to have the route on your computer! It’s possible that you may not see a sign! \n  \n35-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6639847977 \n51-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6639863265 \n73-mile Groad route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6651230233 \n33-mile Road route:\nhttps://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/6651252110 \n***If you’ve only ever ridden road (pavement) and you’re trying to decide if your skinny 25 mm or 28 mm tires would be safe on the gravel\, we do NOT recommend it! You will most likely get a flat! It’s best to ride any dirt and/or gravel roads with at least 35 mm wide TUBELESS tires. However\, even a 35 mm tire is considered skinny these days! Many gravel riders prefer 40+ mm tubeless tires. For the groad routes\, we personally prefer 42-45 mm wide tubeless tires and run fairly low tire pressure: 28-30 psi. So if you don’t have a bicycle that will accommodate a wider tire\, ride the 33-mile road only route.
