guidodg Posted September 23 Share Glad to hear you all enjoyed it... Next year I will ask the organizers to put out some more food stands [we offered free space to food vendors but there was no interest] I will include the forest and an extra section on some interesting jeep\single track to make it a true 130km ...maybe longer A beer tent would be nice too...but the alcohol licence story is a headache. We will endeavour to keep the price of the entry quite low...compared to some of the other exorbitant gravel race entry fees I have been seeing of late..

Why not try and get a Craft Beer manufacturer/supplier on board, and make the Liquor License his problem if he wants to expose his product to a captive market.

Interesting route with good amount of variety. I loved it! Doesn’t that local coffee shop have a mobile coffee trailer? Seems like a missed opportunity to make 100+ coffees on race morning. Or perhaps Seattle would send a crew up for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Guido Excellent event, excellent route (had something for everybody), great vibe. Hope to be back next year. My 2c, test your idea to add forest singletrack with other riders as well. Personally I think most (of the long route gravel riders at least) would not really appreciate singletrack right at the finish after 4 to 6 hours in the saddle, by then you just want to be done with the race and a singletrack detour through a forest not a particularly fun concept. Check the thread for race 2 the sea for how that concept was received on their race. Maybe something that will work better for the shorter distances. A pity there wasn't a beer tent, our group ended up socialising at the nearest restaurant where beer was available... We assumed it was because the venue was at a church 😂 openmind and El Duderino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidodg Posted September 23 Share yup , agreed on not having singletrack right at the end… but will definitely include some beautiful extra gravel/ singletrack in the middle section 👍 Skubarra and openmind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
