Over the Rainbow Madras Gravel Ride

Madras 

Weather looks very good for Madras this Thursday. This is a new-to-me gravel route from dirtyfreehub.com.  So d/l the route since I don't know it either! 40% unpaved.  Supposedly some amazing views and fun singletrack. 

Goat heads are an issue in this area. I strongly suggest tubeless tires only. And that you have 2 oz of fresh sealant in each tire. Also according to the Dirty Freehub site, there are technical parts to this ride:

16+ miles of single track / double track, a short but steep climb out of Trout Creek Ranch where the grade exceeds 15% for 0.5+ miles, and two bike carries over cattle control barriers / fences.

10:00 am start from Erickson Aircraft Collection / Museum. Park in the dirt lot on the north side of the building. Flush toilets and water. About an hour drive from Bend.

Please read the COVID guidelines before joining. 

Sounds like a fun adventure! I'm running 700x40 tires.
