Steel Dynamics Inc. presents a Springtime Gravel race with fabulous views of well-known attractions like Garbage Mountain (the local dump) both out and inbound, ride by many pork and turkey farms, and over Numerous train tracks in this Lil more than a Metric long course. There will also be a medium-length course that cuts off the final loop at the Sag stop.

This will be an all-weather event (barring serious weather) so dress accordingly.

The course is a mix of chunky gravel, dirt roads, a bit of pavement, a few hills, and probably lots of mud.

There will be timing/placing for the top 3 in each class, course marshals, and signs to mark the route. GPS devices ARE advised and course route files are available on RideWithGPS. You will find yourself in the middle of Nowhere, Indiana. Often. This is NOT road bike friendly.

Races will be a mass start at Griffin Bike Park and finish at Griffin Bike Park.

There is a $40 Pre-registration fee until April 25th and a $50 fee after April 26th. This event is a fundraiser for Griffin Bike Park.

Once in the pit (not during a lap), a rider may change bikes or any equipment. Food and drink may be provided to riders only in the designated feed zone near the lap line. At least one headlight and a spare light source are required on the course after 6:15 p.m.

TEAM: Team divisions are: 2 riders for Duo 6/12 Hours, up to 4 riders for 12 Hours. Relay-style exchanges will be allowed only after each full lap, at the pit area. Teams may use any strategy of rider rotation desired. Each rider must complete at least one lap.
