We can’t let those Midwest folks have all the fun with their thread. What do you have lined up for 2024 in/around New England and New York? So far I have 3 events on my calendar and some more ideas brewing. :smiley: I’m hoping I can get to ~3.8w/kg by end of June but looking forward to struggling o…

I was thinking of hitting the Battenkill this spring as it’s right in my backyard, but need to get some upgrades (mainly tires) to support some of the rough gravel I’ve seen on these roads. Which fondo length are you targeting for Battenkill?

I’m doing the 75mi route. I did it 2 years ago and got a sidewall slash on Schwalbe Pro Ones, so I’m going to use something a bit more robust this year. Probably Conti GP5000 All Seasons. :thinking: I saw people riding everything from 23mm road tires/rim brakes to a Salsa Cutthroat with MTB tires!

Yeah, I’ve heard that there IS a wide range of rubber being used out there, from race slicks to some aggressive gravel tires. Considering what i’ve read in the past, Battenkill has been referenced as having the greatest number of punctures of any one day event, so I feel you are playing with a bit …

Hm, here are my main events for 2024, all in Vermont: Rasputitsa - 4/20. It’s back at Jay this year and a week earlier, so they’re definitely trying to push it back into being super difficult, really cold, and sloppy. Muddy Onion - 4/27. Swapped weekends with Rasputitsa, looks like the course is g…

That map is so cool! Thanks for sharing!

That’s just because of what was suggested. Unless the intent is to make this one Road Specific (Which it doesn’t look like)

[image] BCM: Unless the intent is to make this one Road Specific (Which it doesn’t look like) Nope…figured we could get some good discussions going like in the Midwest events thread! @FergusYL Great list!! I want to do Grateful Gravel for sure.

Back when Battenkill was a USAC road race we all raced on standard road bikes with rim brakes and 25mm. Definitely lots of punctures. My last time there was 2017 but it wasn’t under USAC or Deiter any longer. It was still called a road race and maybe half the field was still on road bikes. There are…

I am a maybe for the Tour of the Battenkill. At the very least, I have it on the calendar. I’d be on a road bike, so probably 30 or 32mm tubeless? I’ll definitely be at the Wilmington Whiteface 100K (XC MTB) on Sunday June 2 near Lake Placid. Beyond that, I’ll be at Lutsen and Leadville, but tho…
