The 10th
edition of the Funk Bottoms Gravel will be held on Saturday June 13, 2020, in
Glenmont, OH. Funk Bottoms Gravel will once again challenge cyclists to Ohio’s
Toughest Gravel Grinder. To celebrate 10 years of the Funk we have come up with
a very special course this year. Two races, one brutal course! A one lap 100K
race and for the ultimate challenge, a double lap 200K race. The course will
take riders along some of Ohio’s most scenic backcountry roads. On each lap,
riders will be challenged with over 7,000 feet of vertical climbing! The 200K
race is an Ohio epic. It is a relentless and grueling climber’s course. The
overall 200K female and male finishers will receive a free entry into Gravel
Worlds in Lincoln Nebraska.
Road
conditions are a mix of paved, chip & seal, and 80% gravel & dirt
roads. The Funk Bottoms Gravel 100K/200K is a self-supported event and riders
must be prepared for any mechanical and nutritional needs. No outside support
is allowed. Our good friends at Hammer Nutrition will once again be providing
support with Hammer Fuels before the race, and at the secret checkpoint. As
usual, this year’s race will be an entirely new course incorporating various
roads from previous years along with some new sections. This is a cue sheet
race. The roads are open to normal traffic in the area. Expect to
encounter cars, trucks, horses, buggies, farm equipment, ATV’s, buzzards, road
kill, and the occasional farm dog at any given time. Rain or shine, it’s Funk
time!
Registration
will be $35 before April 30th, and $40 after May 1st. All racers who register
before May 31st will receive a T-Shirt. Racers who enter the 200K will be
eligible to earn points for the new Ohio Gravel Race Series.
The
winners of each category will receive a custom trophy and case of Yuengling
beer.
