Riding High at the Gravel Ride Up Spruce Knob
Team Great Eskape indulged in one of our favorite yearly rituals this weekend: team summer camp at Seneca Shadows Campground and the Gravel Ride Up Spruce Knob (GRUSK) and are still riding high after a weekend of perfect vibes, world class swimming holes, camp fires, and dusty gravel riding.
We had, perhaps, an all time high attendance with a crew of 16 this year, taking over a big chunk of our camping area and representing Great Eskape, Hand Up, Zekes, Verge Sport, Endless Bikes, The Branch House, and Bikenetic on course for the 55, 85, and 100 miles routes.
Weekend highlights included, of course, the ride itself but also the rare opportunitty to kick it with teammates, jump into secluded river bends, fireup the camp kitchens, and exchange scary stories of tubeless set ups gone wrong.
A more perfect West Virginia weekend would be hard to imagine.
