Welcome to HIGH IN THE OZARKS! We’re glad you’re here. This gravel grinder bike ride is inspired by our eternal appreciation of the OZARK National Forest and the desire to help others see it as we do.
What It Is…
This is an extreme gravel event that will test your mind, body, and soul. You will ride 76 miles and cover 8,000 feet of vertical gain over remote, demanding and unforgettable terrain. Unforgettable partly because of relentless climbing but more so because it might be the most beautiful place you’ll ever pedal your bike.
What It’s Not…
