What riders have said about the event:
"Jay and Matt have done their homework to put together an absolutely top-notch event! If you ride any bike with knobby tires, you've GOT to put this one on your list. One of the best courses around, and a perfectly executed race."
“The Black Fork was an amazing reminder of community and competition for me. I was surrounded by strong women that inspire me to work harder and be better.”
"Loved the route, hard technical gravel, and a beer handed to me as I crossed the finish line"
"The Black Fork Gravel Grinder team knocked it out of the park! Awesome job! Thoroughly enjoyed your race. 3rd time for me and I hope to keep the streak going."
"Had a great time! Route was really challenging and tough, but way cool. I think I clocked my fastest time on a bicycle: 44mph."
“No cell service, very little motor traffic, a whole lot of wildlife and green, green scenery… it hadn’t mattered what I felt physically. It was so breathtaking, I was beside myself.”
“Big thanks to all the volunteers and race promoters, this is a must do if you’re a gravel racer in the Midwest.”
“The Black Fork Gravel Grinder was a proper tough gravel race. With punchy climbs, ripping descents and some rugged sections, it was right up my alley…. 10/10 would do this event again!”
