SUMMARY:Ouachita Gravel Grind p/b SHAM
DESCRIPTION:Event Date: January 6\, 2024 \n  \nThank you for joining us for the 2024 Ouachita Gravel Grind!! We are pumped and ready to bring you a top tier experience. \nEvents \nThis year’s OGG will include a 100K race\, a 50K Junior RACE\, & a 50K tour. Both the race and tour will have mass starts. \n  \nPreparty and Packet Pickup \nPacket pickup\, meet and greet\, and prerace dinner will be held Friday at Superior Bathhouse Brewery in downtown Hot Springs on Bathhouse Row. Superior’s address is: 329 Central Ave\, Hot Springs\, AR 71901. Packets will be available there between 6pm and 8 pm. SHAM will have a beer tab available and each registrant will get one beer ticket /root beer ticket(JUNIORS!). Otherwise\, their full menu and bar will be available\, and you will be responsible for your tab. Look forward to seeing you guys there!! \n  \nLocation for Race HQ and Start/Finish \nThe start/finish will be on W Main Haul Rd\, approximately 1 mile north of Hwy 298\, at the intersection of W Main Haul Rd and Ritter Trail. The GPS coordinates are 34°41’51.3″N 93°06’10.3″W. If you put that in your GPS\, it should take you directly to the race start. You will see our tents set up at the start/finish.  \nFrom the intersection of Hwy 298 and Hwy 7 at the Blue Springs Grill\, drive west on Hwy 298 ~2.9 miles to the intersection of W Main Haul Rd. Turn right (north) on W Main Haul Rd. The start finish is less than a mile ahead. Park on the right (east) side of the road only. \nParking\nAs you approach the start/finish\, park along the gravel road on the east side. This is the right side as you drive toward the start/finish. There should be plenty of room to park along the road.   \n  \nBathrooms \nWe will have two porta-potties at the race start. There are several convenience stores\, gas stations\, restaurants\, and even a Walmart in the area. And\, we’re in the middle of woods providing ample space for the more adventurous riders to relieve their bladders. Please plan accordingly.\nRoute \nYou can download a GPS file to download into your bike computer or phone at:  \n  \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/38104326 \n  \nIt’s an out-and-back course of 100% gravel through the gorgeous Ouachita Forest north of Hot Springs\, AR.  \n  \nBike Choice \nUnlike most routes in Arkansas\, the gravel on this course isn’t particularly rocky\, but you’ll still need to prepare for some rough areas. A gravel or cyclocross bike with 35-40+ mm tires will be the best choice for most people. It could be ridden on a tough set of 28 mm road tires\, but would be less comfortable\, and probably not as fast. It could also be ridden on a mountain bike\, but the suspension and wider tires would not be considered necessary. Having said that\, bike choice is very personal. Ride what is comfortable for you. Many will prefer the handling and gearing of a mountain bike. Others may prefer the familiarity and position of a road setup. For the majority\, the fastest and most comfortable choice will be a drop bar\, relaxed\, gravel/cyclocross bike with 35-40+ mm tires.  \n  \nAid station \nWe will have our usual “hubcap” aid station!! You’ll see it at ~15 miles after the start\, and ~15 miles from the finish on this out-and-back course. SHAM will be running our “dead crow” turnaround aid station at the midpoint of the race\, and the timing at the start/finish. \n  \nThe aid stations will have water coolers to fill your bike bottle\, and basic nutrition available (bananas\, granola bars\, etc.) There will be very basic tools to get your bike in order\, if needed. This may include a tire pump\, boot\, tubes\, hex wrenches\, etc. With that in mind\, please plan to support yourself. A flat kit with two tubes\, master link\, and multitool are all highly encouraged. \nDrop bags \nThe 100K racers will be given an option to have a drop bag at the turnaround. The bag will be\nprovided BY YOU and returned AFTER the event SWEEP is complete. It will need to be sealed and well marked so you will be able to recognize it easily. They will be gathered at the start on the morning of the race and will be laid out on a tarp at the turnaround for you to pick up\, remove or leave what you like\, and re-seal. We will\nthen return them to the finish line for you to retrieve. Any bags or belongings left will be thrown\naway or donated. \n  \nTime cutoffs \nThe 62 mile race/tour will have time cutoffs at each aid station. Total time allowed to complete the 62 mile course will be 6 hours. That’s a 9 mph average. If you do not believe you can keep a 9 mph avg for 62 miles\, please move your registration to the 40 mile course. Time cutoffs for the aid stations will be: \n  \n30 mile turnaround: 1:00 pm \n45 mile station: 2:30 pm \n  \nAt 1 pm\, the 30 mile aid station at “dead crow turnaround” will pack up and start heading up the course SWEEPING toward the finish. If they encounter a rider that hasn’t turned around yet\, that rider will be required to turn around and head back to the finish at that time. This van will also act as a sweep vehicle for the course. If they encounter riders heading back to the finish after they had already made the turnaround aid station\, they will not sweep them up unless they miss the cutoff at mile 46. The SWEEP will be able to accommodate a limited number of riders and their bikes and carry them back to race HQ. Once in the broom wagon\, you may not get out to continue riding. You will arrive back to race HQ by 4 pm. If you have a friend pick you up from the course\, please be corteous and stop by the start/finish and let us know you’re finished for the day.   \n  \nSafety \nWe have a safety plan in place in the event a rider has a medical or mechanical issue. We request that all riders carry a cell phone. If you need non-emergency help\, dial one of the race directors. Stephen Harrison: 501-655-2182\, Adam Moore: 501-318-8870\, or Paul Alexander: 501-681-6030. If you need emergency help\, dial 911\, then the race directors. If you do not have cell service\, but can safely move yourself\, head to the nearest aid station. The aid stations will have long range walkie talkies to get in touch with race headquarters and HAM operators\, along with cell phones. The roads will remain open throughout the race\, and ambulances can get anywhere along the course\, if necessary. We are planning for an event without such needs\, but we have notified all local authorities if one should arise.  \n  \nDuring this event\, deer hunting will be in season for archery only. No gun hunting of any kind is permitted in the counties we’re riding through on race day. Hunting is never allowed on roads\, either. Bow hunters are much closer to their target than gun hunters\, and less likely to mistake their target. We expect a safe event. However\, we highly encourage everyone to wear bright neon colors\, preferably orange or pink. Be seen! You want to stand out. This will keep everyone safer. \nAlso\, if you have symptoms of any illness\, stay home. FFS\, I can’t believe I have to write that at all.  \n  \nRaceday schedule: January 6\, 2024 \n9:00 am Packet pickup available \n9:50 am Packet pickup closes \n10:00 am Start for all riders \n4:00 pm Riders are finished \n  \nPost race \nFollowing the race\, we will have podium shots and hand out the awards. For anyone excited about sharing the post-race stoke feel free to meet up back at Superior Bathhouse Brewery Saturday evening for post race hash-out! \n  \nLodging \nWe have no affiliation with any lodging facilities. This information may be of help for you. If you have questions\, please ask!\nCamping: USFS campgrounds are closed for the winter\, including Iron Springs\, S Fourche\, and Lake Sylvia. Gulpha Gorge in Hot Springs 20 min away and has facilities for RVs\, fifth wheels\, etc. Primitive camping may or may not be available along FR 11 (aka Gladstone Forest Road).  \n  \nHotel/motel/B&B: Village Inn 5 min away at the Main Gate for Hot Springs Village; Mountain Thyme B&B 10 min away; Hotel Hot Springs\, The Waters\, Embassy Suites\, and other hotels in downtown Hot Springs 20 min away. \nAirbnb\, vrbo\, homeaway: multiple private rentals within 15-30 minutes of the race site \n  \nQuestions/Concerns \nPlease contact us with any questions or concerns regarding this event. Message us through our Facebook page at facebook.com/shameventsllc\, email us at shameventsllc@gmail.com. You can also post a question in the Facebook event\, and we can answer it there. I’m sure other participants will have the same question! If you need to call us\, you can contact Paul Alexander at 501-681-6030\, Adam Moore 501-318-8870\, or Stephen Harrison at 501-655-2182 via voice call or text message.

A flat kit with two tubes\, master link\, and multitool are all highly encouraged. \nDrop bags \nThe 100K racers will be given an option to have a drop bag at the turnaround. The bag will be\nprovided BY YOU and returned AFTER the event SWEEP is complete. It will need to be sealed and well marked so you will be able to recognize it easily. They will be gathered at the start on the morning of the race and will be laid out on a tarp at the turnaround for you to pick up\, remove or leave what you like\, and re-seal. We will\nthen return them to the finish line for you to retrieve. Any bags or belongings left will be thrown\naway or donated. \n  \nTime cutoffs \nThe 62 mile race/tour will have time cutoffs at each aid station. Total time allowed to complete the 62 mile course will be 6 hours. That’s a 9 mph average. If you do not believe you can keep a 9 mph avg for 62 miles\, please move your registration to the 40 mile course. Time cutoffs for the aid stations will be: \n  \n30 mile turnaround: 1:00 pm \n45 mile station: 2:30 pm \n  \nAt 1 pm\, the 30 mile aid station at “dead crow turnaround” will pack up and start heading up the course SWEEPING toward the finish. If they encounter a rider that hasn’t turned around yet\, that rider will be required to turn around and head back to the finish at that time. This van will also act as a sweep vehicle for the course. If they encounter riders heading back to the finish after they had already made the turnaround aid station\, they will not sweep them up unless they miss the cutoff at mile 46. The SWEEP will be able to accommodate a limited number of riders and their bikes and carry them back to race HQ. Once in the broom wagon\, you may not get out to continue riding. You will arrive back to race HQ by 4 pm. If you have a friend pick you up from the course\, please be corteous and stop by the start/finish and let us know you’re finished for the day.   \n  \nSafety \nWe have a safety plan in place in the event a rider has a medical or mechanical issue. We request that all riders carry a cell phone. If you need non-emergency help\, dial one of the race directors. Stephen Harrison: 501-655-2182\, Adam Moore: 501-318-8870\, or Paul Alexander: 501-681-6030. If you need emergency help\, dial 911\, then the race directors. If you do not have cell service\, but can safely move yourself\, head to the nearest aid station. The aid stations will have long range walkie talkies to get in touch with race headquarters and HAM operators\, along with cell phones. The roads will remain open throughout the race\, and ambulances can get anywhere along the course\, if necessary. We are planning for an event without such needs\, but we have notified all local authorities if one should arise.  \n  \nDuring this event\, deer hunting will be in season for archery only. No gun hunting of any kind is permitted in the counties we’re riding through on race day. Hunting is never allowed on roads\, either. Bow hunters are much closer to their target than gun hunters\, and less likely to mistake their target. We expect a safe event. However\, we highly encourage everyone to wear bright neon colors\, preferably orange or pink. Be seen! You want to stand out. This will keep everyone safer. \nAlso\, if you have symptoms of any illness\, stay home. FFS\, I can’t believe I have to write that at all.  \n  \nRaceday schedule: January 6\, 2024 \n9:00 am Packet pickup available \n9:50 am Packet pickup closes \n10:00 am Start for all riders \n4:00 pm Riders are finished \n  \nPost race \nFollowing the race\, we will have podium shots and hand out the awards. For anyone excited about sharing the post-race stoke feel free to meet up back at Superior Bathhouse Brewery Saturday evening for post race hash-out! \n  \nLodging \nWe have no affiliation with any lodging facilities. This information may be of help for you. If you have questions\, please ask!\nCamping: USFS campgrounds are closed for the winter\, including Iron Springs\, S Fourche\, and Lake Sylvia. Gulpha Gorge in Hot Springs 20 min away and has facilities for RVs\, fifth wheels\, etc. Primitive camping may or may not be available along FR 11 (aka Gladstone Forest Road).  \n  \nHotel/motel/B&B: Village Inn 5 min away at the Main Gate for Hot Springs Village; Mountain Thyme B&B 10 min away; Hotel Hot Springs\, The Waters\, Embassy Suites\, and other hotels in downtown Hot Springs 20 min away. \nAirbnb\, vrbo\, homeaway: multiple private rentals within 15-30 minutes of the race site \n  \nQuestions/Concerns \nPlease contact us with any questions or concerns regarding this event. Message us through our Facebook page at facebook.com/shameventsllc\, email us at shameventsllc@gmail.com. You can also post a question in the Facebook event\, and we can answer it there. I’m sure other participants will have the same question! If you need to call us\, you can contact Paul Alexander at 501-681-6030\, Adam Moore 501-318-8870\, or Stephen Harrison at 501-655-2182 via voice call or text message.

SUMMARY:High In The Ozarks
DESCRIPTION:What It Is…\n\n\n\n\nThis is an extreme gravel event that will test your mind\, body\, and soul. You will ride 76 miles and cover 8\,000 feet of vertical gain over remote\, demanding and unforgettable terrain. Unforgettable partly because of relentless climbing but more so because it might be the most beautiful place you’ll ever pedal your bike. \n\n\nWhat It’s Not…\n\n\n\nThis is not a race and it is not a pampered ride. And it’s definitely not flat. We have a safety-first mentality and have coordinated with local EMS providers in case of emergency\, but we will have limited ability to provide on-course services beyond food\, water\, and medical. Your bike and in particular your brake pads\, MUST be in excellent condition. We will have very limited ability to provide sag support so ride within yourself\, stay hydrated\, and plan to finish the day under your own power.\n\n\n\nPlease note the event is FREE however we are collecting a REFUNDABLE $20 fee from all registrants. We will refund the fee when you check in for packet pickup. We will not provide refunds to non-participants. It is your responsibility to cancel or transfer your registration (for free) prior to Oct. 17th. \nWhy? When you register we commit to cover your 1 day license\, insurance\, food\, medical support\, shirt and other ride related expenses. We’re happy to do that for participating riders. If you don’t cancel or transfer your entry\, we’re asking you to be responsible for the fixed costs we incur on your behalf. We appreciate your understanding.

We have a safety-first mentality and have coordinated with local EMS providers in case of emergency\, but we will have limited ability to provide on-course services beyond food\, water\, and medical. Your bike and in particular your brake pads\, MUST be in excellent condition. We will have very limited ability to provide sag support so ride within yourself\, stay hydrated\, and plan to finish the day under your own power.\n\n\n\nPlease note the event is FREE however we are collecting a REFUNDABLE $20 fee from all registrants. We will refund the fee when you check in for packet pickup. We will not provide refunds to non-participants. It is your responsibility to cancel or transfer your registration (for free) prior to Oct. 17th. \nWhy? When you register we commit to cover your 1 day license\, insurance\, food\, medical support\, shirt and other ride related expenses. We’re happy to do that for participating riders. If you don’t cancel or transfer your entry\, we’re asking you to be responsible for the fixed costs we incur on your behalf. We appreciate your understanding.
