NJ Gravel Grinder at Bedminster
NJ Gravel was a huge hit 500 people came out to great conditions, got me a nice Mug ,a shirt and a good time .
I did the 28 mile ride and it beat the heck out of me. 90% dirt gravel roads really nice fast some steep short climbs that my bike was not geared for but overall a good race.
I never knew that there was so much unpaved beat up dirt roads in NJ..Good time nice location peaceful quiet good bunch of folks.

I manned aid station #3, about 60mi in. It was exceptionally hot, but almost all of the riders we saw were doing ok. I heard reports of some issues relating to riders getting turned around on the Columbia Trail and such, but overall it seemed like a pretty good time. We were supposed to be there from 11:30am until 2, but due to the heat and misdirected riders we didn't wind up leaving until after 4:30pm.
