May 2 will see the first "official" running of The Gifford Gravel 50 in the mountains Northwest of Vancouver WA. Last weekend, I went and rode the route with shop buddies Howard and Brendan. It quickly became apparent that the GPS track's promised 57 miles and 6.5k of climbing were going to prove inaccurate. Also, there was a bit more snow at 4,000 ft than we bargained for. Despite taking a bigger bite than we planned, the day turned out to be nice and the route is great. Tough, but abounding with awesome views of SW Washington and the high Cascade volcanoes. This is one to go and check out, as long as you pack some big tires (35mm+) and plenty of H20 or water treatment.</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block gallery-block sqs-block-gallery" data-block-json="{"hSize":null,"floatDir":null,"methodOption":"transient","existingGallery":null,"design":"slideshow","aspectRatio":null,"autoplay":true,"autoplay-duration":6,"controls":true,"auto-crop":true,"thumbnails":false,"show-meta":true,"meta-position":"bottom","show-meta-on-hover":true,"collectionId":"553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3","vSize":null,"transientGalleryId":"553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3"}" data-block-type="8" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1430242952297_20961"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" sqs-gallery-container sqs-gallery-block-slideshow sqs-gallery-has-controls sqs-gallery-block-show-meta sqs-gallery-block-meta-position-bottom sqs-gallery-block-meta-hover clear"> <div class="sqs-gallery"> <div class="slide content-fill" data-type="image" data-click-through-url=""> <noscript></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Howard and Brendan " data-src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf32e4b0f6e73a8d2913/1430245505079/GG50_01.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf32e4b0f6e73a8d2913/1430245505079/GG50_01.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1000x667" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="553fcf32e4b0f6e73a8d2913" data-type="image"/> <div class="meta"> <div class="meta-inside"> <div class="meta-title">Howard and Brendan </div> <div class="meta-description"><p>Starting the day with a cool spin through some timberlands</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="color-overlay"></div> </div> <div class="slide content-fill" data-type="image" data-click-through-url=""> <noscript></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Climb 1.2" data-src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf35e4b0bd34dd44670d/1430245539519/GG50_02.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf35e4b0bd34dd44670d/1430245539519/GG50_02.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1000x667" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="553fcf35e4b0bd34dd44670d" data-type="image"/> <div class="meta"> <div class="meta-inside"> <div class="meta-title">Climb 1.2</div> <div class="meta-description"><p>The first 12 miles of the route point steadily uphill</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="color-overlay"></div> </div> <div class="slide content-fill" data-type="image" data-click-through-url=""> <noscript></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Kitty?" data-src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf34e4b0f6e73a8d2916/1430245586153/GG50_03.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/553fcf31e4b0bd34dd4466e3/553fcf34e4b0f6e73a8d2916/1430245586153/GG50_03.jpg" data-image-dimensions="1000x667" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="553fcf34e4b0f6e73a8d2916" data-type="image"/> <div class="meta"> <div class="meta-inside"> <div class="meta-title">Kitty?</div> <div class="meta-description"><p>A big bobcat?

Sure, it's great if you're touring to Tierra del Fuego or Outer Mongolia, but for so many folks Truckin' around Portland, the bike is a little pokier than it oughtta be. So we took a 54cm 26" wheel Trucker frame and shod it with slightly larger 650b wheels and some big fast cushy 650x2.0 tires. Also, hydraulic brakes for when you're trucking a little fast. It ended up not so-heavy and way more fun to jam around town (and maybe on dirt) than the standard Disc Trucker. Sure you might want more gears and heavier duty bits if you're going to the end of the Earth but for sporty daylong expeditions on roads with any kind of surface this is stable fast and fun. This was a shop build done in Fall 2014 and sold sometime thereafter.</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block gallery-block sqs-block-gallery" data-block-json="{"design":"grid","aspectRatio":null,"square-thumbs":false,"aspect-ratio":"square","thumbnails-per-row":2,"padding":20,"lightbox":true,"collectionId":"551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc","vSize":null,"transientGalleryId":"551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc","hSize":null,"floatDir":null,"methodOption":"transient","existingGallery":null}" data-block-type="8" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1428001704178_229775"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" sqs-gallery-container sqs-gallery-block-grid sqs-gallery-aspect-ratio-square sqs-gallery-thumbnails-per-row-2 clear"> <div class="sqs-gallery"> <div class="slide" data-type="image"> <div class="margin-wrapper"> <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="" href="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b03c74fdcce32e/1428012278002/Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG" class="image-slide-anchor content-fit"> <noscript><img src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b03c74fdcce32e/1428012278002/Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG" alt="Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG"/></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG" data-src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b03c74fdcce32e/1428012278002/Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG" data-image="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b03c74fdcce32e/1428012278002/Surly650bTruckerSmall.JPG" data-image-dimensions="550x367" data-image-focal-point="0.24,0.44554455445544555" data-load="false" data-image-id="551dbcf2e4b03c74fdcce32e" data-type="image"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="slide" data-type="image"> <div class="margin-wrapper"> <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="" href="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf1e4b03c74fdcce32c/1428012278186/Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG" class="image-slide-anchor content-fit"> <noscript><img src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf1e4b03c74fdcce32c/1428012278186/Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG"/></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG" data-src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf1e4b03c74fdcce32c/1428012278186/Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG" data-image="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf1e4b03c74fdcce32c/1428012278186/Surly650bTruckerDetail1.JPG" data-image-dimensions="600x900" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="551dbcf1e4b03c74fdcce32c" data-type="image"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="slide" data-type="image"> <div class="margin-wrapper"> <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="" href="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b08b18b56abec3/1428012275329/Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG" class="image-slide-anchor content-fit"> <noscript><img src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b08b18b56abec3/1428012275329/Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG"/></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG" data-src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b08b18b56abec3/1428012275329/Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG" data-image="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b08b18b56abec3/1428012275329/Surly650bTruckerDetail2.JPG" data-image-dimensions="600x900" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="551dbcf2e4b08b18b56abec3" data-type="image"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="slide" data-type="image"> <div class="margin-wrapper"> <a data-title="" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="" href="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b060287eec26cf/1428012275446/Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG" class="image-slide-anchor content-fit"> <noscript><img src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b060287eec26cf/1428012275446/Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG"/></noscript><img class="thumb-image" alt="Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG" data-src="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b060287eec26cf/1428012275446/Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG" data-image="../../static/54ef94ade4b0323cece327f2/551dbcf0e4b060287eec26cc/551dbcf2e4b060287eec26cf/1428012275446/Surly650bTruckerDetail3.JPG" data-image-dimensions="600x900" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="551dbcf2e4b060287eec26cf" data-type="image"/> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <style type="text/css" id="design-grid-css"> #block-yui_3_17_2_1_1428001704178_229775 .sqs-gallery-block-grid .sqs-gallery-design-grid { margin-right: -20px;
