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?

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…

[image] BCM: Similar thread: New England and New York Events Lots of gravel. Like all gravel.

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)

The Gran Fondo National Series has a route in northern NJ. Haven’t done one of these events but have ridden the area before and it’s beautiful. Highlands Gran Fondo Also the Gran Fondo National Championships in Maryland.
