Bare Buns

Join us for a nighttime gravel event out of McDade, TX. This small town has a rich history that includes an outlaw group in the 1860s called the Notch Cutters who cut a notch into the grip of their pistols for each of their victims. We'll fly through the night following their trail on the mix of amazing gravel and paved roads in the area.

The event starts about 1 hour before sunset, and gives riders almost 1.5hrs of riding before dark. All riders must have a front headlight, and a rear blinking tail light. For best results, set the front headlight of about 700+ lumens to medium or low setting for at least 2 hours use.

When you return to McDade at the Rising Sun Vineyard, you'll be greeted with music, fun, and a delicious glass of wine or cold beer! Pizza's will be available to order at the vineyard for a late night snack.

All registered participants will receive an info email first thing Saturday morning of the event, and as always you can find all of our event routes on our website www.capitalcityracingtexas.com
