Join us for our 4th annual Maine Maple Sunday Ride!

New for 2027, the ride will be on Saturday with a rain/snow day of Sunday.

This is a loop that I've been doing for a few years with my buddies but I've decided it was time to share it with all! It includes 60-ish miles of beautiful mid-coast Maine back roads (with a few a few stints on state roads) and stops at five sugar shacks and the famous Sheepscot General Store. The route is 100% paved but has a bit of a spring classics feel because of the weather and general road conditions this time of year. A road or gravel bike will be the ideal mode of transportation. This year's loop will be a bit different, but you can check out last year's loop here: https://www.strava.com/activities/8782628772

Depending on your fitness level, and how many goodies you consume at the sugar shacks, the 60 mile participants should expect to be out anywhere from 3-6 hours. There will be a short loop option as well. Exact distance tbd, but it should be around 30 miles for anyone looking for a bit less challenge. This loop only has one big climb, but dishes out just shy of 100' per mile of climbing to help you build your early season base!

All registered participants will receive a gpx file (via e-mail) for both loops. This ride is a go rain or shine! In the off chance of extremely inclement weather forcing us to cancel, registered riders will have the option to defer to next year's ride, transfer the registration to the The Nelson Farm Weekend, the Fon Solo gravel ride in the fall or to donate the funds to the Schmid Preserve.

All proceeds go to support the trails in and around the Schmid Preserve in Edgecomb.

Brought to you in part by our friends at Six Rivers NEMBA.

We have merch available! Head on over to Hubnotic and pick up a few goodies.. https://www.hubnotic.com/collections/maine-maple-sunday-ride

West Texas Showdown

Terlingua, TX | Dec. 4th - 6th, 2026

The West Texas Showdown isn’t just a race — it’s a battle against the desert itself. Big Bend delivers jagged singletrack, endless horizons, and conditions as raw as they come. Wild, unpredictable, and unforgiving — this is where legends are made.

The third stage of the Texas Showdown Series and the crown jewel of the Texas Showdown Triple Crown. Set in the Big Bend region of Texas, this event promises to test every ounce of grit, skill, and determination.

This is mountain desert country — wild, remote, and raw. The terrain is rugged, the weather unpredictable, and resources are scarce. Nearly everything in the desert either bites, pinches, stings, or grabs. Don’t be scared — but don’t come unprepared.

Big Bend – Home of the Showdown

Big Bend Ranch State Park and the surrounding desert country embody the spirit of West Texas: wide-open basins framed by volcanic cliffs, deep canyons carved by the Rio Grande, and horizons that shift with every mile.

It’s one of the most remote places in the lower 48, where solitude comes naturally and silence is as striking as the scenery. Out here, self-reliance isn’t optional — it’s survival. By day, the desert unfolds in stark beauty: ocotillo stretching skyward, hidden springs tucked into arroyos, and dirt roads that climb to vistas you’ll never forget. By night, you’ll ride under one of the darkest skies in North America, the Milky Way blazing overhead in a show few places on Earth can match.

Event Options

Showdown – 390 miles of Glory & Pain

This is the flagship route: long, raw, and unrelenting. It starts with a paved rollout from Terlingua before plunging straight into the wilds of Big Bend Ranch State Park. Riders will grind up gravel park roads, hike through rugged arroyos, and battle through stretches of singletrack where “rideable” depends on your skill, stamina, and stubbornness.

Highlights:

• Marfa (Mile ~200): A quirky West Texas art town, home of the mysterious “Marfa Lights” and the famous Prada “storefront.” Will quite literally be a desert oasis for riders.

• Pinto Canyon: One of the most dramatic landscapes in Texas. A twisting, jaw-dropping descent through volcanic cliffs. Sunrise or sunset here is unforgettable.

• Rio Grande Stretch: Long paved miles along the border, with Mexico just across the river. Stunning views and a glimpse of life in the small border towns.

• The Death Loop: A 50-mile finale north of Terlingua that will test what’s left of your legs and your willpower.

Stats: ~390 miles | 60% unpaved / 40% paved

Slowdown – 290 miles of Dust & Determination

A shorter, but still fierce route through Big Bend. The Slowdown trims the distance but keeps the character: gravel park roads, rough country tracks, stretches of arroyo riding, and just enough singletrack to keep you honest. This is a full-on bike expedition into one of the harshest and most beautiful places in the country.

Highlights:

• Remote gravel stretches deep inside Big Bend Ranch SP

• Rough, sandy arroyos that force you to wrestle with your bike as much as ride it

• Expansive desert views that make every climb worth it

• Just enough pavement to catch your breath before the dirt pulls you back in

Stats: ~290 miles | 48% unpaved / 52% paved

Lowdown – The Gateway to Big Bend

The Lowdown is our non-competitive, guided bikepacking group ride. Designed to introduce riders to the magic of Big Bend in a slightly more approachable way. This route is not to be taken lightly, the distance is shorter, but the miles are hard. A good option for those with experience bikepacking, but want to try something more extreme.

Ride leaders and sweepers will help guide the way, but this is still a self-supported trip. You’ll need to carry your own food, water, and camping gear. Along the way you’ll experience the vastness, solitude, and starlit skies that make Big Bend unforgettable.

Highlights:

• Long stretches of gravel roads and dry arroyos inside Big Bend Ranch SP

• Nights spent under some of the darkest skies in North America

• Bring your big tires and probably suspension

Stats: ~85 miles over 3 days | 80% unpaved / 20% paved

Host City & HQ

Our host town is Terlingua, TX — a once-thriving mercury mining hub turned ghost town, now home to a small but eclectic community of artists, adventurers, and desert dreamers. Nestled between Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park, Terlingua’s ruins, shacks, and quirky dwellings create a setting unlike anywhere else.

Race HQ will be at the Temple of the Bird and it'll be our home for the weekend.

Getting Here

Terlingua is off the beaten path — there are no direct planes, trains, or buses. The nearest airports are in Midland or El Paso; from there, it’s a long desert drive. If you’re arriving via Alpine or Marfa, you’ll also pass through a Border Patrol checkpoint before reaching town.

Rider Notes

• Bike Choice: This is MTB country — rocky climbs, rugged singletrack, arroyo crossings, and rough gravel. Leave your gravel bike at home.

• Self-Supported: Riders must carry food, water, navigation, and repair gear. Resources are extremely limited.

• Leave No Trace: The desert is fragile. Pack it in, pack it out. No catholing. Carry a waste bag.

• Risks: Remote terrain, wildlife, weather extremes, and isolation. This is not an event for the faint of heart or the unprepared.

FAQ

Why don’t the routes go into Big Bend National Park?

Bikes are not allowed on singletrack trails inside the National Park. All riding is on roads only. Big Bend Ranch State Park offers far better opportunities for rugged, off-road adventure. The National Park is also not open to these types of events…yet!

Will I pass through a Border Patrol checkpoint?

Yes. If you’re driving in from Alpine or Marfa, you will pass through a permanent Border Patrol checkpoint north of Terlingua. Have your ID handy. You will also have a Border checkpoint if you are doing the Showdown or Slowdown heading into Marfa.

What’s the weather like in December?

Riders should be prepared for temperatures ranging from below freezing overnight to warm, sun-filled afternoons. Weather in Big Bend Ranch State Park can change rapidly, and strong winds, cold rain, and freezing temperatures are all possible. Conditions may vary dramatically across the route due to changes in elevation, terrain, and exposure.

? What bike should I bring?

This is MTB terrain. Wide tires, suspension, and durable gear are highly recommended. Gravel bikes will not cut it here.

? How self-supported is this event?

Completely. Riders are expected to carry their own food, water, tools, and navigation. Resupply points are limited, so plan carefully. Rescue vehicles will be available to extract riders off course if needed, but when you're riding, you're on your own!

? How do I handle waste?

Big Bend’s desert ecosystem is delicate. Riders must follow Leave No Trace principles. That means packing out all trash and carrying a waste bag — no catholing allowed.

A New Name for Bucks County's Original Gravel Ride Bucks Gravel (formerly the Fools Classic) is Kermesse Sport’s (& Bucks County’s) original Mixed Surface Ride, and is one of the oldest spring classic themed/gravel rides in the US. How does it differ? * Different Name * Different Season * Different Start/Finish Venue * Most of the Same Great Roads! Despite being founded long prior to the Revolutionary War, Bucks County doesn’t have much in terms of cobblestone roads, but due to its rural nature, there are many unpaved roads of dirt and gravel. Glaciers carved out what is now the Delaware River, yielding some steep hills leading out of the river valley. While the route has varied, the concept is constant; ride a circuit of roads less traveled past picturesque farms, pre-revolutionary stone houses, and take in as many of the local unsealed roads as practical. The course is always very challenging and has quite a few technical sections. The unpaved sections are all public roads or trails. They

are suited for road bikes with road tires, though the organizers recommend that you leave the lightweight stuff at home, and highly suggest that tires 28mm or wider will make your ride more enjoyable. * The ride is fully supported: + Aid Stations: 3 on the Long Route, 2 on the Medium, 1 on the Short & 1 on the family ride + SAG Support * The course is not marked (but we will provide GPS Files and complimentary access to the RideWithGPS App on ride day) * Post Ride Food & Drink with Beer courtesy of 18th Ward Brewing * The provisional routes are (according to Ride With GPS) + The Long Course is 81 miles long with 6900' of climbing and has >23 miles of unpaved roads (29%) + The Medium Course is 57 miles long with 5000' of climbing and has 20 miles of unpaved roads (35%) + The Short Course is 34 miles long with 3000' of climbing and 12.5 miles of unpaved roads (37%) + The Family Ride is up to 21 miles long and is mostly flat on an unpaved towpath Cyclocross/Gravel bikes are welcome, but

certainly not required, as most of the ride is on paved roads. Time Trial & Triathlon bikes are not suitable for this course and are prohibited. The courses are very challenging and have several very technical sections, thus it is only suitable for experienced cyclists with a good levels of fitness and bike handling skills. Interested in Camping on the Course? Beaver Valley Campgrounds is located at Mile 20 of the Short, Medium & Long Course and serves as Aid Station 1. It’s a 10 minute drive to the start/finish, making it an ideal location to camp for the event. 80 Clay Ridge Rd.

The Mount Greylock Century presented by Berkshire Velo 413 features some of the most challenging climbs in western Massachusetts. Riders will be treated to quiet backcountry roads and some of the nicest views in the county. While the north side of Greylock and Kingsley Hill Rd have gained some notoriety, don't discount some of the lesser known climbs such as Monroe Hill, Windsor and East Hoosac. We recommend compact gearing as riders will encounter mid-teens and higher percent grades several times over the course of 12,000 feet of climbing. We believe the route ranks right up there amongst the most challenging centuries in the Northeast.

Event details: Parking and registration are located at the Stationery Factory in Dalton Massachusetts. The Century riders will have a group start at 7:30 AM and Metric Century will start at their own-will at 9:30 AM. We recommend riders budget an additional two hours over their normal century pace. There will be five aid stations located along the route. The ride will be supported until ~4:30 PM.

Post ride: The Shire Tavern will be opening the kitchen for us at 3:30 offering a full menu. Beers will be complimentary using fare tickets. A nice way to recover a bit before that drive home!

Last minute updates will be posted on our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/BerkshireVelo/

The will be held, rain or shine!

Warning: This is a difficult ride. Slower riders should opt for the Metric Century. You will be abandoned if you are out on the road past 5pm. Its not fair to volunteers who will be committing 12 hours of their time to support the ride only to have super slow riders still out on the road until dark.

Course description:

The Highlands Gran Fondo showcases some of the best riding around. It’s hard to believe riding this good is located in such close proximity to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. The Highlands area is a 1,343 square mile region of Northern New Jersey which is noted for its scenic landscape and environmental importance. Much like this ride, the area is composed of rolling farmland, hilly ridgelines, and winding roads that weave up and down the lush green mountains. As you enjoy the diversity of the beautiful terrain and scenery, the route will take you through three counties and two states. As the loop progresses so will the elevation, the gran loop will gain 8,000 vertical feet. This event is sure to expose you to roads you never thought could be tucked away so close to one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country.

2026 Course Description:

Nestled in the Bavarian Alpine village of Helen, GA the ride starts in the heart of the North Georgia Mountains. After rolling out of Helen the route hits the first timed segment at mile 2.5, where any riders with intentions of an overall podium finish will need to put their cards on the table from the start. The first time section immediately enters the mountainous area made famous by the 2003-2008 Tour de Georgia. In 2008, Unicoi Gap was the second to last climb on the approach to the race-deciding ascent up Brasstown Bald where Kanstantin Suitsou got the jump on Trent Lowe and Levi Leipheimer to win the event. As riders tackle this timed section they cover over 7 miles and climb 1500ft to the top of Unicoi Gap. The climb is very gradual for several miles, before turning into a real alpine ascent. Enjoy the vistas of the Chattahoochee National Forest on the descent before turning left and climbing up and over Jack’s Gap.

A left turn on Richard Russell Scenic Hwy will put riders face to face with the 2nd timed section, Hogpen gap. Within 6.5 miles and another 1500ft, riders will reach the highest point on the course at 3469ft with ramps of 12%. The views at the top of the surrounding peaks are breathtaking. Check your speed and be careful on the descent as there are many sharp turns. Enjoy the ride through the forest knowing that the hardest riding is behind you.

After tackling the two biggest climbs of the day riders will head east from Helen through Unicoi State Park. The route then hits the 3rd timed section at mile 46, comprised of rolling terrain for a 4 mile section. Riders then get to enjoy a non-timed section of the route for the next 30 miles as the route explore the area round Lake Burton and Seed Lake. Be sure to save a bit of energy for the final time section, it only last just over 2 miles but at over 80 miles in to the day you'll need to find some go go power.

The route finishes back into the landmark town of Helen where, in 1969, local business owners collaborated to create what is now called “Bavaria in the Appalachians.” Just outside of Helen on the route is the Nacoochee Indian Mound, the center of the ancient Cherokee town of Gauxule, visited by Desoto in his search for gold. Be sure to plan to stick around for beers, food and music served up at the finish line.

The Relentless Run and Challenge is a timed competitive-style endurance event built for runners and ruck athletes.

The Course: One, approximately 5K loop on trails.

Event Options:

5K: One loop. Great for first timers, fast runners, or anyone who wants to send it.
