i generally do BikeMS every year, and its a social ride for me. Gives me a chance to catch up with my team mates, and others like myself who ride with MS. I do have my eyes on a couple other rides for this next year (Crooked Gravel, Tour of the Moon, and Elephant Rock) 2 of the 3 I are either dedicated Gravel rides or have a gravel option. None of my friends ride Gravel, so I would be doing them solo, and I plan to just do them in a relacing manner. The road one I will probably talk a couple friends into joining.
