Description

Mountain Biking

Distance - 150 miles

Why: Because I like to go on long gravel rides. Maybe you do too? If so, consider yourself invited. How: Self navigated by a provided route map. The map details will be posted later. NO COURSE MARKINGS of any kind will be put up by me. That's waaay too much work, and besides, all the roads are marked at intersections with "street signs", so your ride can find you if you bail out, get injured, are attacked by pigs, etc...... You will be self supporting. There are no aid stations....well, not in the traditional"race" sort of way. Convenience stores will have to do! No one will pick you up if you are in trouble that is related to this event since, well....I'll be riding it! There is nobody else! Fend for yourself or........... (It is called "Death Ride" after all!) Get the picture? That said, I'd recommend bringing your cell phone. When and for How Long?: August 19th. Sun up to sun down. If ya wanna ride longer, that's entirely up to you. The event's "time stamp" will be at the afore mentioned times.

Route

Where: County gravel roads and maybe a "B" level maintenance road or two through the following counties: Black Hawk, Tama, Hardin, and Grundy. A specific route will be posted after I verify the existence of the roads. Some pavement will be experienced through pass through towns. Those towns are Traer, Gladbrook, and Steamboat Rock. The ride starts and ends in Cedar Falls.

Registration

It's free you crazy fool!
