Mixed Surface Club Rides and Routes

It looks like some of the club rides might incorporate some cross/gravel/650b road friendly dirt and single track. Could someone please clarify which ones typically do? Likewise, any other recommended routes? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the club. I have a bunch of gravel rides on RideWithGPS. Most are local and start from Collinsville, East Hartland, or Simsbury.

  • Click on "Go To Routes"
  • Once the routes are displayed, click on "Route Name" at the top of the list and the rides will be arranged alphabetically. All the rides that start with CX are gravel or mixed surface routes, and you should be able to download gpx or tcx files to load into a GPS unit.

If you want info on other gravel rides, email Christian Bratina (cbratina@optonline.net) and ask to be put on his Litchfield Hills Cycling Club email list. He sends it out weekly and it includes links to a lot of organized road, gravel and mtb rides.

Thanks. I will take a look.
