Expect a mix of smooth dirt roads, rough forest tracks, and some rooty, rocky sections through the trees.</p><p>If you’re on a gravel bike, go with the widest tires you can fit (around 40–45mm) and make sure they’re in good shape. Lower pressure and a bit of tread will go a long way.</p><p>If you’re on a mountain bike, run fast-rolling tires and keep things light, you’ll appreciate the control and comfort on the rougher parts.</p><p>Recommended tool kit:<br>2 tubes, 2 CO₂, small pump, Dyna Plug, multi-tool, tire boots, and patches.</p><p>Conditions can change quickly with weather, so be ready for anything from hero dirt to muddy corners. Whatever bike you bring, make sure it’s dialed and ready for a big day in the forest!</p><p>Note: E-Bikes are not permitted at this event.</p><p><strong>Whatcha' Get</strong></p><ul><li>A crazy hard, super fun adventure with a bunch of your new and old cycling buddies.</li><li>Bottle Drop for long course</li><li>Fully stocked Feed zones with Skratch Hydration Maurten gels, and other snacks</li><li>Awesome prizes at the finish from our generous sponsors.</li><li>Event timing and results.</li><li>Hot coffee and fresh baked pastries from Black Oak Coffee Roasters the morning of each event.</li><li>Delicious lunch, cold Yerba Madre and Best Day Brewing beer at the finish.</li><li>Podiums for Top 3 All Categories long courses, and for Top 3 M/W/NB Overall short courses and Top 3 for shorts course Juniors U16 and Juniors 16-18</li><li>Cash prizes for Top 3 Pro M/F Overall.</li><li>Emergency Medical Support en route.</li><li>Unforgettable stories of adventure.</li><li>Free event photos from FinisherPix.</li></ul><p>For more Information visit:<a href="https://www.grasshopperadventureseries.com/huffmaster">&nbsp;Grasshopperadventureseries.com</a></p>\n\nConfirmation: hYtivUCPtt\n\nMore info: https://www.movemint.cc/events/jackson-forest-2026
