Unveiling Our Flagship Race
Introducing the Bird Dog 100, our flagship event that showcases the captivating roads weaving through Burke County, GA. This route, undoubtedly our most accessible and enjoyable, serves as the ideal entry point into the world of rural gravel cycling. The diverse road conditions will test even the most seasoned riders, but fear not—just keep those pedals turning, and you’ll conquer every feature of the course.

On-Course Medical Support
In our commitment to safety, we’ve assembled our own team of on-course medical support personnel. This not only ensures your well-being but also eases the burden on rural EMS resources.

Impeccable Course Signage
We take pride in our extensive course signage to guarantee that every participant finds their way to the grand finish line celebration.

Timed-Segment Race Format
Our races come alive with 1-3 timed segments that challenge riders across our favorite course sections. It’s your chance to unleash your inner competitor and push the limits.

Fully-Stocked Aid Stations
Expect 2-4 fully-stocked aid stations along each course, brimming with fresh fruit, soft drinks, sports hydration, snacks, comfortable seating, and restroom facilities, even in the most remote locations.

Mechanical and SAG Support
Our support vehicles are equipped not only for medical emergencies but also for mechanical assistance. Think of it as comprehensive race insurance. No matter what obstacles arise on the course, we’ve got your back.

Flexible Race Weekend Options
Life happens, and plans can change. That’s why we offer the flexibility to cancel your race weekend with a full refund or transfer the race’s full value to a future event. To exercise this option, simply make your decision 48 hours prior to the race start.

Get Ready for a Unique Gravel Experience
Our races are all about maximizing the joy of cycling. Instead of embracing the grueling suffering of other events, we’re embracing the spirit of two-wheeled camaraderie. Ride alongside friends through each transfer stage, then unleash your inner beast during each timed segment. Reconnect with fellow riders at the finish line, and journey together to the next challenge.

Course Variety
Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you traverse an array of road surfaces, including hard-packed red clay, orange soil, sand sections, sand/gravel mixes, pavement, tar & chip, chip seal, and classic gravel—possibly even a few we can’t quite categorize. Whether you find these surface changes exhilarating or simply wild, choose your path, read the road’s surface and texture, and keep those legs spinning to maintain your momentum through varying terrains.

Notable Stops
Long route participants will have the privilege of crossing McCroans Bridge, a modern marvel of steel and wood construction, providing passage over the Ogeechee River. Both long and intermediate course riders will make a pilgrimage to the Stuckey’s Pecan and Candy Factory—a sweet detour you won’t want to miss.
