🌆 Friday Night Lights — Gunbarrel Classic 🌆
It's Friday. You survived the week. Now come earn your beer.
We're dusting off one of the OG TGIF routes — the Gunbarrel Classic — and she's looking good. A little dirt, a little singletrack, a little spice. Nothing that'll break you, but enough to remind you why you bought a gravel bike instead of a Peloton.
The Route:
~25 miles of the good stuff. Slightly technical, mostly rowdy, entirely fun. Singletrack that'll make your road bike friends nervous and your mountain bike friends feel right at home. Moderate pace with regroups — but heads up, this isn't a no-drop ride. Keep the rubber side down and the stoke levels up.
The Incentive You Didn't Know You Needed:
👕 Best Shirt Contest — yes, this is real, yes it's judged, and yes the stakes are high.
Walk up in the most dialed, unhinged, or deeply cursed shirt and you're going home with a set of Knog Lights. Because nothing says I've made good life choices like winning bike gear for your fashion sense on a Friday night gravel ride. Dig deep in that closet. You know the one.
The Details:
📍 Rayback Collective — meet at 5pm, wheels rolling at 5:30.
Post-Ride Debrief:
🍔 Back at Rayback — food, drinks, good people, and a full debrief on who sent it and who didn't. You're already there, so no excuses.
Bring your lights (it's literally in the name), bring your flat kit, and for the love of gravel — bring a shirt worth winning in.
See you Friday. 🤙

Heads up, if you arrive early, you may get a parking spot in front of Rayback, but there’s more parking on Glendwood Drive next to the bike path or Folsom St. Stay after for some food from the food trucks, crispy beers on tap, and hangs around the bonfire.
