SUMMARY:Ouachita Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Ouachita Challenge Race Association has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a fun and safe 2024 Ouachita Challenge. We are in the final stages of getting our permits and approvals for the event. The OC must still follow state and local guidelines. Check the OC Facebook page for any changes or updates. \nThere are a couple of changes for this year’s OC. The biggest change is a Saturday Gravel Grinder. The gravel course will be using some of the same roads the tour course used\, roads that are parallel to the trails and the same aid stations. The Gravel Grinder will be 100k in distance. Map coming soon. \nThe Sunday Mountain Bike Race will remain the same. \nWe also have a category for those daring enough to sign up for both days. \nThe wait list will be on the Ouachita Challenge FaceBook page this year instead of the bulletin board. \nWe are still having breakfast each morning as well as Saturday night dinner.  We will be able to seat 19 family groups in the school cafeteria at a time and will have some outdoor seating as well.\nRiders will still be able to sleep in the gym and it will be and will be set up to keep safe distancing from each other.  Tent camping will still be allowed on the school grounds but safe distancing needs to be maintained.

SUMMARY:Doom
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the premier bikepacking event of Arkansas. We don’t start or end in a busy city with traffic and flashing lights; instead\, we get deep in the heart of the Ozarks and ride\, hike-a-bike\, resupply\, and sleep where the population is low and the terrain is all-time. \nThis is not for the faint of heart; it’s a proper Ozark backcountry experience. Forest Service and County roads get ROWDY. This year we’ve even included some of the best singletrack in the state. Both options start and end at the BOC Ponca Downhill Trailhead. At least a hardtail mountain bike with a minimum of 2.2″ tires is the general recommendation. If you’re a fan of underbiking or only have a gravel rig… you won’t be stopped but you’ve been warned. \nTotal event cap is 100 regardless of what category numbers are at. This is the max number of day guests we can have at the lodge and the max the long-term parking area can accommodate. \nIn for the Long Haul? The Doom route incorporates most of what has already been used in the two prior years but elevates the experience with some new terrain after more scouting and avoidance of long-term Forest Service mandatory detours. \nDoom \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/44851077 \nInclined to join the party but need/want to get back to real life in a more reasonable timeframe? Insert the new Despair route. Still a race on the front end but also a phenomenal 3 day+ tour. \nDespair  \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/44851144 \nBoth options have a pre-race check-in\, hangout\, and meeting the night before the event on Thursday\, March 28th at the RiverWind Lodge. This is less than half a mile from the race start where all vehicles will be left during your ride. There are 8 rooms in this lodge that will also be available as an add-on to registration if you want to stay there. Rooms with two queen beds can sleep up to four people if you’re trying to split costs/logistics with some homies. If you reserve an available room it is your own private room unless you ask others to join you. Day guests will have to leave by 10PM to keep the BOC staff happy. \nhttps://www.buffaloriver.com/lodges/riverwind/ \nThere are plenty of lodging and camping options in the area – I advise you look into it sooner than later. No tent or vehicle camping at the RiverWind Lodge. No tent camping at the BOC Ponca Downhill Trailhead either. \nCamping/Lodging ideas: \nhttps://www.buffaloriver.com/ \nhttps://www.jbtradingco.com/ \nhttps://horseshoecanyonduderanch.com/ \nhttps://www.nps.gov/buff/planyourvisit/camping.htm \nAnything in Jasper\, AR for the most amenities! \n  \nEveryone will be required to use trackers during the event via Trackleaders. Either rent or use your own… just please note that will be one additional cost as the event date gets closer. \nEvent price will increase after Dec 31st by $20 unless you’re a returning Doomer. \nQuestions in the meantime shoot over to andrew@ozarkgravelcyclists.com
