2022 OTGG Day 1 Video Experience

Alternative Video Link for those reading via email subscription.

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew takes on the Pioneer route option, ridden at shooting video / survival pace 🙂 and knocks out the first of five stages. Training for this experience in North Florida wasn’t an option, so JOM toted along reasonably low gears to get over most of the climbs. It is important to note that a good level of fitness and skills, particularly for descending, are recommended to tackle each day of the Oregon Trail Gravel Grinder.
