Om eventet
Come experience the rarely ridden gravel backroads of Northeastern Oklahoma! Our courses lead you on the scenic backroads of Cherokee and Adair counties. We will offer three options: a challenging 65 mile course with plenty of climbing and some bonus views you don't see on the shorter options, a 45 mile intermediate route that will be a fun and challenging day of gravel climbs and descents, and a 10 mile fun intro to gravel riding! Remember this is a ride not a race, have fun and enjoy the day!
