    For over a decade, we’ve tested our limits on the RAT 1000. But for the last few years, I’ve been quietly building something bigger. Much bigger.

    For over a decade, we’ve tested our limits on the RAT 1000. But for the last few years, I’ve been quietly building something bigger. Much bigger.

    Project TUBA: The Transcontinental Unpaved Bicycle Adventure. 4000+ miles. Atlantic to Pacific. Dirt, gravel, and backroads.

    The route is 80% complete. We have verified the line from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arizona border. This verified route is over 3000 miles through Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.The final piece of the puzzle is the Western Leg (Arizona and California, ending in San Diego), and we are heading out this January to scout and verify the final miles.

    I want you to come with me—digitally.

    The "Founding Brick" Offer: We are selling 1,000 permanent spots along the route.

    Your Legacy: You choose a spot. You get a permanent "Course Point" on the official GPS file with a short motivational message from you to every rider who ever tackles this trail.

    Your Access: Founders get lifetime access to the TUBA route files and guidebooks

    Your Impact: 100% of these funds go to gas, mapping tech, and logistics to finish the Western scout this winter.

    Note: We have reserved the "High Motivation" zones (the hardest climbs and the longest/most tedious flats) for you guys. If you want to leave a message for a rider suffering across the Llano Estacado, now is your chance.

    The Guardian Miles (Memorials) For those who are riding with us in spirit. We ride gravel to find peace and safety away from traffic. Sadly, many of us have lost friends who didn't make it home.The Guardian Mile is a permanent memorial waypoint placed at a scenic overlook or summit along the TUBA Trail.

    Permanent Legacy: A dedicated waypoint with the rider's name and a commemorative note.

    Prime Locations: Placed at high points and areas of reflection, not just random mile markers.

    Giving Back: 50% of every Guardian Mile purchase is donated to the League of American Bicyclists.

    We also offer a TUBA Founder option which gives the founder access to the detailed route information. It also adds your name to the Founders' list in the guide materials and other supporting media. If you've read this far and don't recognize the time, effort and expense required to put together a project of this magnitude and still feel you deserve access to the route info for free, here you go: current coupon code = knotwurst for $25 off the Founder Donation. Please note, if you choose this option your name will not be included on the Founders' List.

    Let’s build the Longest, Hardest, Dirtiest gravel route in America together!
