Here are the current standings for the SBR Racing Grand Prix after the The Equalizer 50K and 100K Gravel Race"!

Keep in mind everyone will have a drop race, so points may seem a bit skewed if racers have missed 1 of the 2 races thus far.

NEXT UP: STL Dirt Crits Championship on August 16th
THEN: Lost Valley Luau MTB Race on Sept. 14th

Strava route and elevation map of the 100K and State Championship course.

All 100K and State Champion contenders will take this route. The elevation profile looks beastly up Dry Fork! 😟 its not that bad. Although see that "little" spike at 43 and 56? That one is memorable.. its the Kersten Krusher, (we heard it called "peanut butter hill" last year) A KOM/QOM on race day gets you an award! Yes you see it 2wice.

Take note of the water/sag stations! you will see them at mile 21, 40, 42, and 52. Mile 42 being your first opportunity to grab your SAG. Basic water available at the others. Bring what you need and plan accordingly, Gravel is self supported! We will have roaming side by sides on course with water/mechanic as well. but it could take a while, so be prepared.

There is a gas station at mile 22 if you need a slice of pizza or something. 🥨

It will be marked, coned and marshalled but get familiar and/or go for a pre ride. Please respect the fine folks of Warren County, they are stoked to have us and lets keep it that way! Roads are open, lets not be the rare"that guy" in the middle of the road, running stop signs, so please obey all traffic rules.. Smiles and waves are nice too, As you know, us cyclists are here to make the world a better place! 😍

50KXL Route coming up next.. standby.
