This ride is unsupported. That means if you break down, you will need to call a buddy to come pick you up.

Print or download the route if you need it. Updates will be made later this week if need be. Check out the 30-mile mostly paved route, and there is a 43-mile route for those interested in a ride-at-your-own-risk challenge: https://ridewithgps.com/events/48856-the-big-grove-brrrewery-ride

Come prepared so you can make the most of day. If you are an avid winter rider then you likely know what you need to do to prepare. In case you need a refresh, here is a list of some things to consider:

Body:
- Visible, bright, flashy, reflective clothes. Yes, this is a fashion show
- Sweat-wicking layers. You will warm-up fast!
- Extra fine wool undies
- Technical biking gloves or hand-warmers
- Windbreaker jacket/vest
- Facemask or scarf for the descents
- Ear coverage that fits under your helmet

Bike:
- Bring front and rear LIGHTS
- Fenders
- Water bottle-don t forget it
- A pannier or pack to stuff layers into
- Winter/knobby tires or ride low pressure for more stability

Geoff s Bike and Ski will be at the Start of the ride doing minor tune-ups so arrive early if you think you might need small adjustments. World of Bikes will be at the halfway point on the way to Solon if you find that mid-route something needs adjusting. We love our Local Bike Shops!

- Free breakfast and coffee at the start!
- Take me to church! Hot chocolate, coffee and a warm place to rest at St. Mary s Church.
- BGB pints
- Delicious biker brunch menu in Solon: Crab Cake Benedict, Biscuits and Gravy, Breakfast Pizza
