The 2020 Grumpy Grind Adventure Ride is officially cancelled. The reasons why are obvious. It's simply the responsible and respectful thing to do. As I perceive the mandated shelter rules now being instated in our states and local communities, I feel lucky to know that activities such as cycling are something I can still do. Mind you I will be riding solo, but that isn't a huge stretch for me, being that I'm one of my favorite people to ride with. I say that with a sense of humor, but also with a slight bit of truth. One of my favorite parts of any gravel event is when the larger packs split up and when smaller packs form. And then as a rider of a single speed bike, it is inevitable that I get caught riding solo for long stretches. I enjoy these variances of my riding company, or lack of. It's all part of the experience.
I hope you and your families are staying positive during these strange times. Stay safe, be thoughtful, and know we are all in this together.
