SUMMARY:Birdeye | Night Owl
DESCRIPTION:Birdeye Gravel expands its weekend festivities with this unique challenge dubbed the Night Owl! Two distance options\, one epic endeavor.  \nPicture 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. \nWhether 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! \nPlease 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. \nPreliminary Routes: \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/collections/2932778 \nSchedule:  \nFriday 11/8\n• 4:30pm – Rider Meeting\n• 5pm – Start \nSaturday 11/9 \n• 8am – Breakfast\n• 10am-4pm – Farm fun (yard games\, yoga\, & more!) \n• 5pm – Tacos & tamales – San Judas\n• Music – Curtis Scott & Deion James followed by Amy LaVere & Will Sexton \n  \nBuilding Community \nstudioDRIFT’s mission aims to help communities in the Delta through placemaking and outdoor recreation.
