Mid-Atlantic Gravel, Travel & Dirt

Let's recap 4 glorious days celebrating the beauty of the Susquehanna River Valley in Pennsylvania and unPAved!

We rode some, ate a lot, helped others, and partied at donePAved. The Burly 30 is a legit, proper gravel ride and is all the best parts of PA gravel in one shot.
