SUMMARY:Central Texas Super Lowdown with Bikes or Death out of Texas - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:New for 2024! How Low can you go?? \nIntroducing the Super Lowdown! Building on the Bikes or Death mission to make the outdoors and bikepacking accessible for everyone\, the Super Lowdown clocks in at just 83 miles with free camping at Oxford Campground at mile 55 on the route. \nThis is not a race. This is an opportunity to ride your damn bike with a lot of other bikepackers in a beautiful Hill Country setting. \nGPS Tracking is required for safety reasons. \nThis event is being held as a part of the Bikes or Death Texas Showdown series. Here’s a little bit about that series from the Bikes or Death webpage: \nHowdy and welcome to the Texas Showdown Series\, the brainchild of native Texan\, Patrick Farnsworth\, host of the Bikes or Death podcast.   \nThe TSS was created to give adventure cyclist opportunities to explore three very different regions of Texas.  From the Pine Curtains of East Texas\, to the Hills of Central Texas\, and to the remote and rugged desert of West Texas.   \nBikepacking Roots is proud to be a Campout Sponsor for the Texas Lowdown series put on by Patrick and the Bikes or Death team.

SUMMARY:Nutmeg Noreaster Vol 8 with Ron's Bikes in Killingworth\, Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Detailed information about this year’s Nutmeg Nor’easter has been released by Ron’s Bikes. The following is from the 2024 Nutmeg Nor’easter Registration Announcement: \nanother world championship of sandal riding is upon us — the 8th annual! wow\, and our toes are still somewhat intact. this year\, like last year\, will be held at Dear Lake Camp in Killingworth Connecticut — enveloped in quaintness and it’s trappings. what deep pleasures in these soft times of bumpy bike rides! \nhere is some media from last year so you can get an idea of what you are getting into \nrons bikes coverage ::: the Radavist coverage ::: Bikepacking.com coverage ::: \nthe biggest change from years past is that there are no “nearly all you can eat” pizza tickets. a few slices is included with your reg for everyone — we pushed our pizza purveyors to the limits last year\, and still didn’t have enough — so we are bringing in more food for purchase from farmer Jess and other vendors. there will be plenty of vegan options for purchase also. \nother than that\, folks from last year should know what to expect (hopefully not more rain!). and folks who are new\, well\, hi! and read on for some details. \nCamp Options: there are Cabins and bunk houses on the premises\, lean-to shelters\, tent camping\, and car camping zones. camp sites and bunk cabins are first come first serve on Friday starting at NOON. \nGetting there: from NYC the metro north to New Haven\, transfer to shoreline east to Clinton. Dear Lake is 5 pleasant miles from the station. Roll on bike service and all. could do the same from Boston I suppose. you can always drive too — there will be plenty of parking\, but we always like to not have tooooo many cars involved. If flying\, Bradley International Airport (BDL) is an hour drive. \nroutes to the event: I make up a few country options each year from the New Haven train station and Clinton train station. Old Saybrook too if you are coming from Boston. those will be emailed by Thursday before the event. \nWhy this date?: this is the weekend when the last fall foliage of New England reaches it’s peak — a farewell in many ways. \nYard Sale Swa(m)p meet:  it’s 10 bucks extra at reg to sell bikes\, parts\, merch\, bespoke wooden dildos etc. There will be a special designated covered area for this part of the event in the great hall. 25 vendor tickets are available — 8ft folding table included. there will be wifi in this area this year to make electronic payments easier. \nClasses: We’ve had some good skill shares over the years — if you have a course you’d like to teach\, then reach out to Tenzin@ronsbikes.com \nFood: our olde friends Fire in the Kitchen will be tossing pizza pies for the 8th year in a row on Saturday night for the pizza party. there will be enough for everyone to have a few slices. We will have Jess from the farm and food trucks of sorts for Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday too. there are Stop & Shops with decent natural foods sections nearby in both Madison CT and Clinton CT 5 miles from the event space. There will be camp fires and your camp stoves to cook other things and make coffee etc. \nCoffee: any baristas want to set up for espresso drinks? let me know. we will also have the giant percolators going as usual for this with less discerning tastes. \nWeather:  generally we want to expect cracker Jack 60-70 F and sunny with Southern New England fall foliage at its absolute peak gloriousness. that being said\, it can also be a deluge as we found out last year. you made it work! \nRain Date?:  nope! we made it through last year — rain or shine\, this spot has enough roofs and good folks to make it a time to be had regardless of weather.  It’s New England! \nToilets: there are a whole lot of them on the premises \nWater: there is potable well water at site \nShowers: bring some wet wipes! there are also showers on the premises\, and perhaps rain to stand out in. \nKid Friendly?: no kids\, sorry. \ne-bikes: no ebikes\, sorry. the trails do not allow them in the area. \nrefunds: sorry\, no refunds\, but if you need to transfer your reg to someone else\, you can do it via bike reg. \nRoutes: there will be 3-5 of them ranging from an easy country road spin with a stop at the beach to rugged class 4 roads and lots of trail that you might think is hiking trail because it is. I will post the routes the week before the event along with the suggested tire size. you can do as many of the routes as you’d like. \nAid stations: there will be no aid stations or external support once you leave the venue location. the gpx routes will be enriched with waypoints showing you where to get water and food while you are out\, but you are on your own for the most part. \nNavigation: highly recommend a head unit or some way to strap your phone to your handlebar as the courses will not be marked\, and there are a lot of turns and easy ways to get really turned around out there. I would not recommend anyone going out on one of the longer rides without a head unit. \nRegistration: OPEN NOW at bike reg \nhope everyone has a good month! stay tuned to reg emails for more\, and I will try and answer any questions in the comments.
