Boondoggle Events

Reaching riders that's never attended our events is tricky. Some don't have Facebook, some don't have Instagram and nobody wants to visit a seldom updated website (that was me a couple years ago). One thing is for sure 97.4% of people has an email.
If you want the most in depth information on our events or your riding partner wants info. Message us your's or their email address and get added to the Boondoggle Events email list. Promise...No funny cat videos will be sent.

Last year’s ARC was 56 miles with 17 of that gravel. I did a survey/email about tire choice for last year’s event. For the most part, everyone content with their tires or may go a little wider this year.
It seems that Specialized Pathfinders was the most used tire.
Below is a list of tires used.

38 & 47mm Spec Pathfinders
45mm & 50mm Maxxis Ramblers
35mm & 45mm Kenda Flintridge
40mm Continental Terra Speed
38mm & 40mm Schwalbe G One
42mm Challenge gravel grinder
38mm IRC Boken Doublecross
42mm IRC Boken Plus
38mm IRC Gravel King SK
40mm Vittora Terreno Dry

I’m sure there was other tires used. These are just the responses I got.

Our "go to guy" for the Forkland ARC course is currently out shaking hands and making deals to get us more private roads to use. 2025 ARC could be 3-5 miles longer, fingers crossed. Registration will open Jan 25th.
As stated in previous emails ARC will have a different format. It will be a mass start, there will be age groups, first finisher in each age group will get a prize, we will post results and every finisher will get a certificate with their finishing time on it. We want this to have a marathon type feel. Everyone is shooting for a completion time! When you sign up and train this year focus on a time for Forkland All Roads Challenge.

Name has changed, but everything is the same. After this year‘s ARC we felt like the word “championship” didn’t appeal to a lot of riders, but every rider likes a challenge.
Also, we included Forkland in the race title. We got a lot of unexpected support from the community. We wanted to honor them by putting their name in the title. registration opens January 25th.

Good Afternoon!

Just a reminder Forty5 registration is open.

The All Roads Event at Forkland will get some changes. I've presented the changes to a few regulars and got 100% positive feedback.
We started the event to be a version of a "Tuesday Night World" and it turned into more than we expected. Add in we had volunteers wanting to help that was unexpected. We did know where to send them. We'll be better prepared for 2025. AND BETTER SIGNAGE. StayTuned for the announcement. Registration will open January 25th.

Registration for the shorter race at Forty5 will open January 11th!

Livingston FTK is open till March 31st. It's a great course and would be good training for your 2025 races! Sign in, post a time, message me and I will put your time in the results.
