Unfortunately we are doing the Arkansas Graveler this summer. But Big BAM doees an excellent job organizing the ride, camp, and evening meals and concerts. You will love it.

We did it last October as well. And it was cooler.

I loved Katarina's tenderloin sandwich!

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

It is such a great restaurant! We had the chicken sandwich

How did you guys charge your phones ?

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Big BAM sets up a charging station at camp. I also brought a battery power pack - because I have cameras with me as well.

if i am using 25 mm tires - can i ride this section?

[@TheCaffeinatedBible]

Parts of the trail are very well packed and graded. But you will hit loose gravel at spots (especially around Augusta to St. Charles - that was in 2024). I used to ride gravel trails with 25mm tires but since going with wider tires (38+) if find that they are MUCH better for trails like this and safer as well. I think you could do it but you may slide out at places.

[@CyCyclesCyril]

Definitely you CAN ride 25c tires. I’ve done KATY on 25c and 32c and just got back from similar ride, Great Allegheny Passage & C&O Pittsburgh to DC riding 35c there. The big caveat would be 25c is fine as long as it’s dry. Wet, you’ll sink in a lil or plow some small ruts. YMMV. I’m 250+lbs when adding me plus bike plus gear weight combined.

@MrCyfriend thanks for letting him know.
