Unbound Gravel will take place this weekend. Just like last year, Council Grove is going to be a checkpoint at the high school on South Neosho. Traffic will be incredibly heavy throughout town, especially in the area of Neosho south of Main Street. Here is the itinerary for Saturday. It looks as if the cyclists will begin arriving early, probably by 11 or 11:30 a.m. This will continue all day, and into Sunday. Use extreme caution this weekend while traveling in Morris County. I have reached out to the organizers to attempt to get a plan in place to minimize the traffic hazards for all. And just like we must drive with extreme caution, I expect that the bicyclists will do the same and have a mutual respect while traveling the roads.
