The Limber Excursion is intended to be a fun, yet challenging endurance gravel road race/ride that will use open public-access gravel and dirt roads, through the Black Hills National forest and into Wyyyooommming!  Riders should be able to maintain a 8-9mph average speed. The course will consist of mostly gravel, some dirt, possible mud, and a bit of pavement (gasp)! while rolling over open prairie, meandering through beautiful canyons with flowing creeks, and navigating the beautiful Black Hills Ponderosa Pine Forest. 

 

Race start: Spearfish City Park at 6:45am. The start is a short escort out of town.  Once across the bridge, about 1/2 mile up the Canyon, the racing can begin. Riders may not cross the center line while riding up the Canyon and should remain on the shoulder of the road.

 

Aid Station 1 mile 23.4:  Cut-off time is 10:00am. Water, food items, and Heed sports drink.

​

Aid Station 2 mile 36:  Cut-off time is 12:30pm. Water, food items, and Heed sports drink.

​

Aid station 3 mile 55.5: Cut-off time is 2:45pm. Water, food items, and Heed sports drink.

​

*You must leave the aid station by the cut off time.  Aid stations will be closed after cut-off time.

​

Support Crew: It is highly suggested that all riders have a support person for the event.  Your support person is there to come and get you off the course should you break down, get injured, or just need a ride back to the finish area.  Your support person is not allowed to drive the course following you around.  Directions for your support person to the aid stations can be printed from the link at the top of the page. The fastest way to get back to town is by having your own support person.  Make sure you look over the maps and have a plan with your support person to come get you should you need it.

If you do not have a support person we will have a SAG driver and some on course patrol drivers that will be able to assist you for a small fee which can be purchased during registration.  They will do their best to get you back in a timely manner however, you may need to wait at an aid station for some time or ride in the SAG vehicle back to town.  

​

Navigation: The intersections on course are marked but we highly suggest you download the GPX and carry the Map and Cue sheets as well (which can be printed off above), due to the fact that course markers can get taken out by weather, animals and even people.
