Please read the general information, and fill out the required personalinformation and waiver in this form if you plan to attend an Speed River Bicycle (SRB) Gravel Grinders Multi-surface Ride

General Information: At several dates throughout the year, SRB offers cyclists an opportunity to meet, ride, and socialize while exploring new places to cycle, mostly away from traffic and closer to nature. These multi-surface rides utilize mostly unpaved surfaces like gravel roads, rail trails, recreation trails, snowmobile trails, single track, and hydro line access roads. The rides offer varying degrees of challenge, and range anywhere from 40km-60km in length.

These “Multisurface Rides” are intended, and best suited for drop-bar bikes with 700C tires designed for loose and hard pack surfaces.
• Gravel
• Cyclocross
• Dual Sport
• All-roads
• Adventure/Touring
The styles of bikes listed above offer tires starting at 32mm wide. These tires are wide enough to handle the rough terrain and offer enough volume to provide comfort to the rider without the weight and rolling resistance penalties of a mountain bike. Mountain bikes are welcome, just be prepared to work a lot harder to keep up with the lighter, quicker rolling bikes.

All that said, we at SRB wants to help you find the places to ride, and the people to ride with. The rides are friendly, casual and simply about getting out and enjoying the countryside while mostly free of traffic, and having a fun, social occasion with other cyclists. We don't want to discourage anyone from riding, and we do want everyone who joins to enjoy it. For this we strongly encourage riders be comfortable with the distance that they are committing to. All of these rides are suited for a rider at Level 2 (see below) or greater. Depending on the ride, speeds can average anywhere from 18km/hr to 23km/hr on gravel. We let the riders be the judge of their limits, and welcome anyone who feels comfortable with the pace and distance that the given ride will offer.

Personal Information

We need to know a couple things about you

Please type your first and last name *

Have you joined a Speed River Multi-surface ride previously? *

Yes

The following Fitness and Endurance ranges used to assess level of difficulty for all Speed River Multi-surface rides. Please select the Level that best describes you.

Level 1: Cycling (on any surface) is not something you do regularly, but you find yourself on a bike a few times a month in the summer. You haven’t ridden a bicycle for extended periods of time since childhood and after reading the preface for this section, you are probably wondering why you have even considered doing this. Activities involving exercise are not a priority in your life.

Level 2: You will likely be caught on your bike once or twice a week when the weather is decent. You are at an average fitness level, and occasionally do other activities that qualify as exercise. You usually find yourself riding for an hour or two and you ride at a relaxed pace.

Level 3: You are riding twice a week or more when the weather is cooperating and some days when its not. You are at an average fitness level, and regularly do other activities that qualify as exercise. You can ride on consecutive days and usually find yourself riding for 2+ hours per day on the road, or trails, and you ride at a relaxed or moderate pace.

Level 4:You are an avid cyclist riding more than twice a week, and the weather isn’t a big factor for you. You are at an above-average fitness level, and regularly do other activities that qualify as exercise. You usually find yourself riding for 3+ hours on the road or trails, you’ll ride on consecutive days, and you ride at a moderate or spirited pace.

Be Prepared

Please review the following to ensure you have the mandatory gear (*). We have also added optional items that often come in handy during any ride. *

Bike* - “Multi-surface Rides” require you have well maintained, fully functioning, and safe bike. If there are any concerns of the suitability of the bike, be sure to discuss with Taylor prior to arrival.

Helmets*

Identification*– Health Card (or copy) and emergency contact number

Flat Repair Kit – spare inner tube (proper size for your bike), tire levers and a pump and knowledge of their use. TIP – Wrap your inner tube in several layers of plastic wrap to prevent chafing/puncture. Ride leaders will offer guidance as needed.

Multi-tool – in case of any loose parts or something that may need an adjustment

Lights & bell – working front light and tail light as appropriate. (bike lights on 30 min. prior to sunset, and a bell at all times - it's the law!)

Tire Pressure* – pump tires up to recommended pressure...if in doubt look on the sidewall of the tire for BAR/PSI pressure rating

Water* - proper hydration is important...1 bottle per hour is a good rule!

Snack - for longer rides, a granola bar or something similar is great to give you a much needed boost
