As the snow melts, the rivers rise and the bulbs pop, it is the perfect time to experience gravel riding. Early spring, when pavement roads retain their winter gravel and mountain bike trails are a bit too mushy, is optimum for cycling dirt roads. This is a nice rural gravel loop with additional hill options for those feeling feisty. (less)
