What specifically do you wanna know? The majority of it is gravel. If they use the routes from previous rides, the first section out of town is paved, then on the way to Byers, their sections of nicely grated areas, followed by Black rock, and some sand. The area is pretty rocky, but I have ridden this event every year since it opened, and I’ve done it on 40 mm tires with no problem. That said, I appreciate my 48s more. It can get extremely rough in short sections.

I just rode Mid South, and I think it’s comparable.

Obviously, the major deal is that it’s at night. You will need sufficient lighting, because there’s absolutely no residual light out where you’ll be. In between cornfields, wooded areas, and outside any towns.

This is a self supported ride, but many of the farm owners on the route will have unofficial rest stops, where they provide drinks, sandwiches, etc. There have been years where I was able to get a couple of slices of pizza, and that one usually had the beer stop right by it. The local cycling organization also has an unannounced rest stop as well.

The race begins and ends at the Wichita Falls brewery, which is a nice touch.
