Monday Night Gravel will officially kick of starting in April! The weather can be fickle, so if things look questionable we‘ll announce cancellation by noon.
For April, we‘ll be riding out of Loami. Meet at the post office for a 5:45 rollout, with 20-25 miles of mixed surface fun. This is a no-drop ride, and pace will vary depending on those that arrive. We typically average between 15-17mph for the ride.
The first MNG every month will be at a slower pace with less rugged routes. If you‘re new to gravel, not used to group riding, or just unsure if you can keep pace with our normal ride, please come out and join us for the first Monday of the month.

Nelson Center / Lincoln Park
The SBC, with assistance from the Springfield Tri Club, is pleased to present the 11th annual Springfield Kids Triathlon. Fun and family-friendly, this event will take place at Nelson Center in Lincoln Park.
Don Daniels was a great friend and longtime member of the SBC, who led many rides including the weekend Vpark A/B rides. Don passed away one year ago. Anyone who knows Don is quite familiar with him adding a surprise mileage loop on his ride. So, Derek has added a Mileage Loop, of which Don would surely approve.
The official start is at the IDOT trailhead at 8:30 AM. A Don Daniels Mileage Loop will start from Vpark at 8 AM, riding to the official start at IDOT, where some memories of Don will be shared before and during as we roll during this leisurely-paced ride.
The ride will go to one of Don’s favorite locations – east to the Bolivia Bridge. This is an old closed iron and wooden planed bridge, located in the middle of nowhere. Walking access only!
The mileage from IDOT and back to IDOT is 40 miles with a convenience stop in Mechanicsburg.
The full Don Daniels Mileage Loop Ride from Vpark will separate from the IDOT group at the return through Rochester to go around the lake and continue to Toronto Road to Vpark. Total mileage is 61 miles.
