Birdeye | Night Owl - AR

Birdeye Gravel expands its weekend festivities with this unique challenge dubbed the Night Owl! Two distance options, one epic endeavor. 

Picture this: sunset is approaching, a live band is ready to send you off, and you're surrounded by a group of enthusiastic riders ready to take on the night. There will be a few stashed aid stations along the way but the ethos of the ride is a self-supported adventure. Enjoy comradery, duke it out with anyone that wants to push the pace, or settle into your own rhythm and enjoy a solo mission. Complete the route and add your name to the list of finishers. We'll be scheming up some prizes to sweeten the deal. 

Whether your first proper night ride, a training opportunity for something in the ultra or bikepacking realm, or just a way to shake things up… we're here to stoke the fire! 

Please note - this will not have a rolling SAG. This is a do-it-yourself ride! If you need a bailout… call a significant other, bestie, or family member. We'll send out a sweep beginning at 10AM on Saturday.
