Funk Bottoms Gravel 100K\200K

June 16, 2018 is the 8th Funk Bottoms Gravel in Big Prairie, OH http://funkbottomsgravel.com

Funk Bottoms Gravel will once again challenge cyclists to Ohio’s Toughest Gravel Grinder. Two races, one brutal course! A one lap 100K race and for the ultimate challenge, a double lap 200K race. The course will take riders through some of Ohio’s most scenic roads. On each lap, riders will be challenged with over 7,000 feet of vertical climbing! Road conditions are a mix of paved, chip & seal, gravel, and dirt roads. The Funk 100K/200K is a self-supported event and riders must be prepared for any mechanical and nutritional needs. No outside support is allowed. Our good friends at Hammer Nutrition will once again be providing support with Hammer HEED before the race, and at the secret checkpoint. As usual the course will have sections from the previous year’s races along with some new sections. This is a cue sheet race. The course is NOT marked, and the roads are open to normal traffic in the area. Expect to encounter cars, trucks, horses, buggies, farm equipment, ATV’s, buzzards, road kill, and the occasional farm dog at any given time. Rain or shine, it’s Funk time!

How did the event go? Worthy of being added to something like The Epic Ride Phenomenon?

Race went well nearly 150 racers showed up for the Funk Bottoms Gravel race this year. http://mrbigring.blogspot.com/2018/06/2018-funk-bottoms-gravel-single-speed.html
