Before you ride

Routes are shared as-is. Surface data comes from Ride with GPS or Strava, and gravel roads change with weather and maintenance, so check conditions before you go, carry what you need, and follow our VeloSafe guidance on sharing rural roads. These roads are part of what our VeloGravel program works to preserve. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
