The Fine Print: As always, a helmet is required, a gravel/cx/all road bike in good mechanical condition with 32mm or wider tires is recommended, and a chill, positive attitude is preferred. You should have the route loaded onto your GPS device and be prepared to navigate the route on your own if necessary. You are expected to have the items and ability to repair a flat and a smartphone to ensure you're able to make your way back if you become separated from the group.
