The following is a brief description from the Crooked-Cross Gravel Ride Event promoter:
Are you one of those people that are starting to pace, thinking about the onset of winter? Do you often feel bored on your current bike rides and are left wanting for something more? Is your Peleton screen starting to make your eyes glaze over? Fear not dear fellow cyclists, the 1st annual Crooked-Cross Gravel Ride is here! Come on over with the family and enjoy a good challenge before hibernation mode sets in. You have the option of a 40 Mile Taunt or the 70 Mile Dare through parts of the infamous Pennslyvania Grand Canyon. . . .
The 40 Mile Taunt is the short course. Mileage is approximately 40-43 miles with an easy 4000 ft elevation. Are you shaking your head right now after that last bit? Not us, we eat our Popeye spinach in the morning and so should you. Buck up, you’ve got this. This is your introduction to some gnarly muscles and psychological warfare.
The 70 Mile Dare is the long course. Mileage is approximately 67-70 miles with a boring 5700 ft elevation. This course is not for those that skip “Leg Day”. This course is for the early morning risers, the Get’R Done folks, and those that are brave enough to accept anything and stupid enough not to care. We love these kind of people. . . .
