Another gravel training loop from the Fort Collins Fondo List
Sat 09 August 2025
A slightly longer loop ride, initially from and to Old Town, we shortened it picking it up a Redmond and Vine (near New Belgium).
Today was a bit cooler than previous rides, only reaching the mid-80s by the time we finished. This ~40 mile ride was a trainer for Grace in prep for the Rad Trinidad during Dirt Week. For me, I not a fan of the gravel. The early gravel roads were nice, but two sections of this loop were very deep, loose gravel. A mix of up and down hill, but both were contenders to throw me off my bike. Lots of fish tailing and don't get me started on washboarding with fresh loose, gravel-sand over it to disguise the hazzards.
