Time flies when you are having fun! Come join for the annual Just a Chill Ride - 50K Sixth Edition.
Free to register and participate.
We (my husband & I) pride ourselves in keeping this a fun, grassroots, gravel ride (not a race). We are excited at what 2024 will bring as last year the event had its most registered (38) and the largest number riders (32). 2023 brought us several new faces and riders new to gravel. This event is great for new to gravel cyclists or those coming back after an injury. Just A Chill Ride - 50K routes works in short cuts here and there to allow riders who may not be “feeling” it to shave miles or even a ride back to town. This event is 100% supported with a primary checkpoint and an oasis. Upon finishing, our traditional chili and cinnamon roll meal awaits.
Another perk of this event is it is held on Block 31 in Dwight,Ks where The Event Center and Pink Gravel Campsites are located. Book a spot for your RV with W/E hookup or bring your sleeping gear and pitch a tent on site. The Event Center is left open for those camping to use the bathrooms or showers. Showers are also available post ride.
Other Details:
Please arrive by 9am so you have time to unload bike, check in, and grab donuts and coffee. If you did not initial or sign a waiver at registration, I will ask you to do so before the ride.
Helmets are a MUST.
At 9:30 am we will line up for a picture, say a few words and roll out.
The route is mostly gravel / dirt with one checkpoint located 15 to 20 miles in.
The route will be posted to the website on or by the Wednesday before the event. It will be emailed to participants after registration closes. It is created via Ride With GPS.
We do ask folks ENJOY the ride and focus on social aspects of getting to know other cyclists.
Take a couple moments to stop at an intersection and let others catch up.
Take pictures! Don't just ride by and think you should stop, “Do It!”
Again. . . a post ride meal will consist of the traditional Chill Ride Chili with toppings/stir ins, cinnamon rolls, misc snacks and drinks.
