Amazing! I have done so many grassroots events in the Midwest and this was I think #1 for quality and hospitality. The hot coffee and pastries in the morning just make a difference to everyone. Also the super clean, not-porta potty bathrooms make my wife and family’s day so much nicer. The Driftless area is so special it’s hard not to love the course—even though it was damn challenging…
As a not very experienced rider, it was a challenging course (even the shortest route) but overall doable and fun experience.
Really mfn hard, really hilly, really sick views, really excited for next year’s!
Great experience, was my first gravel ride.
AMAZING course!!!!!
I raced all over this year everything from Midsouth to Montana to Steamboat this race packed the biggest punch with the most gravel as far as course goes. The people were great, volunteers awesome, the only thing lacking was some organization and that big finish line feel that you get at some of these other races. Between this race, Midsouth, and last best ride it is a contender for one of my fav races of the year.
I unfortunately had a mechanical and dropped out at mile 40ish of the 100mile course, but those 40 miles were awesome
It was one of the prettiest rides I've ever done The atmosphere was fun The route was challenging but doable
Incredibly fun event. Maps were a bit wonky bit that's a minor quibble.
Perfect blend of casual community riding and competitive racing
The 40 was challenging and had a great versatile terrain.
Fantastic! I am assuming 5 is the highest, I'd give it a 10 otherwise
Most enjoyed a true gravel experience highlighting MN rolling farmland, barns and bluff views. Gathering in farm field pre and post race was an added bonus

Great experience. Loved the atmosphere
Everything was excellent! Only glitch was that I was dropped on the shake out ride and got lost because one of the directions on the cue sheet was wrong. My mistake that I didn’t have my lights with me, but I didn’t know the distance until we met in the parking lot. Fortunately, I had cell service & got a ride back to the farm.
I had a spectacular time. Being able to sleep in my car in the pasture was very helpful due to high prices of hotel rooms at that time. The organization of the event was great. The course was challenging yet beautiful.
