Join Thank Gravel It's Friday and Ostroy for the Far Out Gravel Adventure Series, a set of two gnarly gravel rides into the mountains of Boulder, Colorado. Each ride will be around 60-80 miles with 6-9000 ft of elevation, plenty of dirt, technical single track, and steep rocky climbs... a far out ride not for the faint of heart. Reach all 5 checkpoints during each ride to win prizes and beer at the end of the ride. In this edition, we will be giving away three entries to The Rad Dirt in beautiful Trinidad, Colorado this September. When you finish all five checkpoints you will automatically be entered to win an entry.

Meet at Sanitas Brewing at 8:30am for coffee, roll at 9am for a neutral roll out to the first climb. From there, you can ride at your own pace or with friends, and finish the challenge on your own time. Each checkpoint will be indicated on the route, and when you arrive to each check point, you must find the book, and rip out a page. Don't loose the page, you'll drop off all your pages at Sanitas Brewing after the ride. We will have one official aid station on the route provided by Skratch Labs and Carbs Fuel with a few more spots to refuel on your own along the way, but these rides are self supported so please come prepared with food, water, and tools. The Gold Hill Store will be featured on every ride as well; so stop and grab water, soda and snacks there too!

Rock your best 80s attire, neon, leg warmers, mesh, and mullets… the two best dressed riders will win a prize from Ostroy! Anyone who completes all five checkpoints and turns in their pages at Sanitas will also win a custom Far Out water bottle or custom TGIF top cap from Dispatch Cycling and be entered to win prizes. We will also have an award for the “Lanterne Rouge” or last rider to finish all five checkpoints and complete the ride before Sanitas Brewing closes at 10pm.

Ride #1 - Saturday, June 29th

Ride #2 - Saturday, August 24th (August 3rd ride was postponed due to fires and air quality concerns in the Boulder area)

Oh how we love our Gold Hill laps on a Friday evening with live music, cookies, snacks and drinks before a long weekend! Although we would love to hit the Gold Hill Store on any night of the week we will be keeping this Friday ride a true shakeout before the Far Out ride this weekend.

Join us at Sanitas Brewing for a TGIF shakeout from Sanitas Brewing in Boulder on Friday to shake out the legs before a huge day on Saturday at the Far Out ride. We will hit North Boulder roads for a flat 20 mile jaunt to get the legs warmed up for Saturday’s adventure. This will be just over an hour at a rather chill pace (16mph average) before heading back to Sanitas for a beer and some tacos. Let’s keep it an early night for those who are joining us Saturday!

Whether you are joining us for Far Out on Saturday or you want to get the legs primed for a big weekend adventure, you are welcome to come shred with us. Bring lights, a flat kit and stoke for a social shake down. Park in the Sanitas parking lot and roll at 5:35pm.

*Please note this is not a no drop ride*
