High In The Ozarks
2023-11-18 09:00 - 17:00 | Byrd’s Adventure Center, 7307 Cass Oark Road, Ozark, 72949, United States
What It Is…

This 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.

What It’s Not…

This 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.

Please 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.
Why? 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.
