154: Mammoth Endurance Gravel

Come along and spend the next hour with us talking about gravel bikes, adventure biking, bikepacking, bike camping, MAMMOTH Endurance Gravel or just playing bikes. Joining us in this episode is James Llewellyn, the event organizer for the Mammoth Endurance Gravel. Come and enjoy miles on miles of gravel around beautiful Wellsboro Pennsylvania and the PA Grand Canyon! We have a fresh new course for 2022, only a couple of roads overlap from our 2021 course! The route is a BEAST and at only 11% of the 140 miles being paved, there is plenty of gravel for everyone to enjoy! The Full MAMMOTH course is 140 miles and 15K ft. of elevation gain to challenge even the most advanced riders, come ready to duke it out with your will to finish in the pain cave. For those looking to compete there will be 6 STRAVA Segments totaling 68 mi. and roughly 6K ft. of elevation gain the fastest overall time through these segments in addition to finishing the full course decide the winner. Those of you that choose to attempt the Full MAMMOTH will ride two separate 70 miles, non-overlapping loops beginning and ending in Wellsboro with Aid Stations approximately halfway through each loop. (Please keep in mind that there will be a support vehicle patrolling the course but carry what you need for approx. 35 mile stretches) If you are doing the Half MAMMOTH option you will only do the first 70-mile morning loop. The Quarter MAMMOTH option takes you to Aid Station 1 (fresh coffee and baked goods for all at this station provided by Wandering Barista) then turns back toward Wellsboro totaling 32 miles and 3K ft. of elevation gain.
