Here is the course for this years Best Ever Sandbagger Pint Race. There is a little over 3,000' of climbing this year at some of the best gravel in the world!
Beware and stay to the right on the unmaintained road at mile 30. VERY DANGEROUS RUTS!
Road is closed and you will need to dismount and navigate the closed bridge at mile 47. Beware and do not fall through!
Sean Jackson rule, there will not be any sympathy shown for anyone not owning their route! Do not follow the person in front of you, they might be riding a different distance. Follow your map! If you are first across the finish you will be asked to verify your route and will not win if there were any corners cut. This is an open road course. You will almost certainly see more deer than cars during your ride but do not be complacent. Drafting is allowed.
If you have a mechanical or bonk bad enough to call a jeep and accept the hazing from your friends, please call Jeff Hall at 816-877-6724 and he will arrange a Jeep pickup.
Per Sandbagger tradition, 12 miles from the end of the race we will take a moment to recognize those who fought in the 2nd largest cavalry battle in the Civil War. Sugar Valley is formed by Mine Creek and the battle of Mine Creek was fought a few miles from this intersection. All participants have the choice to take a shot of Union Horse bourbon or can choose to read the written history of the Battle of Mine Creek aloud for 60 seconds. Please choose wisely.
Bourbon Station will be located at mile 62.
Good Luck!
