****5/26 UPDATE - SUPER IMPORTANT!!!!!!*****
Saturday's Gravel Free For All Location Change

Unfortunately Hill County has been getting flooded over the past week and has been hit heavily again yesterday and today. We have determined it to be prudent to move the event to an area that can better handle these crazy, wet conditions.

We Have Secured An Alternate Venue
We will be moving Saturday's Gravel Free For All to Gainesville, TX the old outlet mall now called 35 & Liberty. This is the same location we hosted our event this past weekend but we will be using different routes.

The roads near Gainesville handle wet weather extremely well. They were perfect Saturday morning after hard rains overnight Friday and a lot of rain the week prior. We will send out more detailed information tonight.

The registration link is the same, but the address has been updated: https://www.bikesignup.com/Race/TX/Gainesville/GravelFreeForAll

Entry is currently free for Club Spinistry members as well as non member attendees who paid for entry into the Red River Riot and/or Nordic-Tex Heatup. Any remaining spots will be free to the general public beginning Friday morning. Stay tuned for more details throughout the week.
