2022 Holiday Ramble

These are the favorite North Texas gravel roads for a lot of folks. Pretty, scenic and just enough terrain to make things interesting without tearing your legs off. This makes for a great introduction to gravel for riders coming from other disciplines as well as a fantastic adventure for gravel veterans. Come join us!

Please note, new staging area. Pricing includes a $35, single weekend/event Trial Membership to Club Spinistry, That fee will be waived for current Club Spinistry members. The Trial Membership fee will be deducted from the cost of a full membership if upgraded within 7 days of the event. Pricing also includes an automatic $20 donation to cover timing and other logistics. All participants may opt out of the donation because it is truly a donation. Donations are sincerely appreciated but most definitely NOT required.

Spinistry Chow drinks/refreshments will be provided on Saturday. Please note that alcohol is NOT permitted in Gainesville City Parks so we will not have beers in the Spinistry coolers for this one.

We will have a Group Location/Tracking page available for all participants. Tracking requires a (free) active account with our friends at Spotwalla. The account is free but there is a nominal fee (pennies per tracking day) for the actual tracking. Riders can use free phone apps and/or satellite trackers for tracking purposes. Live tracking is highly encouraged but not required.

All routes 75 miles and less will be fully marked and we will provide GPS navigation files/capability to all registered riders. The 100 mile route will be self navigated when it deviates from the 75 mile route. Water tables will be provided for all routes. Apart from course markings and water tables these routes are considered self supported. Riders must make their own transportation arrangements if unable to complete the routes for any reason. There will NOT be SAG support. Please call 911 in case of emergency.

All riders are expected to adhere to the Texas Transportation Code. All routes utilize public roads/property for their entirety. Please be aware of and courteous to all road/park/trail users. This is NOT a race. Recorded times are meant for individual reference/use for training purposes. We do ask that riders make us aware of any course deviations so that other participants might have proper and accurate times for evaluation purposes.

Sunday Club Ride: ALL registered participants are welcome to join us for a super casual Group/Club ride on Sunday as well. These will be completely different routes from Saturday and will require GPS navigation capability. Sunday routes will NOT be marked. We will make arrangements for water stops/tables for the Sunday routes as well.

More soon.
