SAVE THE DATE: February 18, 2023

Please join us February 18th, 2023 in beautiful downtown Thomasville. This will be a one day event that will start from our new location at 209 W Remington Ave and we'll use the new expanded shop, patios, and huge yard to hold registration, breakfast, staggered ride starts, lunch, and live music.

Register before January 18th to guarantee a T-Shirt and help us get a number to the caterer.

Immerse yourself in a true gravel experience. The ride is a self-supported endurance gravel road event that takes you through some of the most beautiful clay roads in the country - maybe even the world! Thomasville is home to over 300 miles of clay roads in the interconnecting Red Hills Region that covers over 300,000 acres. You will need a phone with a "Ride With GPS" type app or a GPS device to navigate the route properly. There will be no markings or directions on the route. Revel in the complete gravel adventure at your own pace whether it be race pace, party pace, or a site seeing social pace (though recognition will be given to the fastest finishers).

Enjoy a clay road ride, hang out for some good food, craft beer and live music -All In One Place- Historic Downtown Thomasville!

SATURDAY- Cold Breakfast with Hot coffee, the Thomasville Clay Road Classic ride, a hot lunch (11:30a-2:30p) with 2 refreshment tickets, as well as live music from 1-5 PM, giveaways, and recognition of the top male and female for each distance.
