The Dirty Petersburg is back for it's 9th edition. Meet at Hand of Fate Brewing in Petersburg, IL at 10:00am for either a 30, 40 or 50+ mile gravel ride. We will announce routes soon, but have been landing on a similar one the last few years that seems to work well. These were last years, they might change, so check a week or so before for updates: 51: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37933735 40: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41358593 30: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/41358603 And our friend Gene made a clean 38 mile version, the radio edit: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37850696 After the ride meet back at the brewery, for some drinks and food. Bring money, it's not included in the registration fee. Few details: Park around the square in Petersburg, but not directly in front of the Brewery. Ride starts at 10am. Roll over to the front of the brewery for a photo. This route is not marked. Load the route, print them out or follow someone. There are no markings on the road. These are open roads, be respectful of traffic, although there usually isn’t much. Watch for cars, stay to the right, don’t be a jerk and wear a helmet. We don’t have much permission for this other than asking the brewery if we can hang out after. Be cool. There is plenty of parking around the square and on the streets close to the brewery, please do not park in front of the brewery so their regulars have access. You work out, you can walk a block after. There are some gas stations and even a Casey’s close for bathrooms. There will probably be a cooler drop, but no sag support. Carry all you need to change a flat or whatever else you need.
