Sun: Tour De Heifer gravel ride in Vermont. did this last year and this year did not disappoint. they changed the route up a bit on the 60mi loop. 62mi 7600' climbing. Rode most of it as a group of 3 after the 25mi water/food stop. Perfect weather in the mid 70's and the dirt roads were mostly shaded. (though this made seeing bumps and pot holes difficult.. nothing like washboard or pot holes at 20mph) . one full off road section test my CX and Mtn bike skills to the limit with some washed out rock descending in the shade.
