Registration is $70 for the event, plus tracking fees. Full Circuit racers are required to have a tracker($85 for rental and service), Short Circuit riders will be on trackleaders via cell service($15). Ultra cyclists are all friends and family, so if you need to use the Friends and Family discount to bring registration to $35, it is “Circuit”.

Welcome to the finest Ultra Race in Missouri, so far. This route is designed to let beginners dip their toe in ultra racing, or experienced folks test their skills. All are welcome, and able to ride. The rules are very simple: follow the route, ride fully self supported, and don’t be a jerk.

Central MO Circuit The route is almost entirely the same fun as last year. The only change is a short section of single track before you leave lovely Columbia MO. There are still lots of beautiful rolling hills, fast gravel, and a few suprises over 340 miles. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49188146

New for this year is the Short Circuit. If 175 miles of Gravel, B-Roads and Single track sound more your speed you can still join the fun of ultra cycling. The event will start together, and you will still get all the trail magic of the full length race, in a slightly smaller package. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50454104

For both events the route is fixed. In order to be considered a finisher, you must ride every inch of it under your own power. If you do need to go off course for any reason, you must reenter at the exact same spot. As with all Ride with GPS maps, the elevation feet are a lie. It is much hillier. You can ride whatever bike you would like, but I think a drop bar gravel bike with 40-50mm tires would be best.

There will be more information about the logistics of camping and tracking in your registration email.
