Labor Day has come and gone but that doesn't mean we still can't find some really cool ways to recreate responsibly.  To help you take advantage of some of the great weather and gravel road and trail conditions and in the spirit of Gravelpalooza, where the rides always go uphill, FKT Capitol Forest is here.  FKT can mean lots of things - check out the Let's Privateer website to see where this concept comes from. To us, it's Funnest Known Time!

Our ride will allow you to participate in the Let's Privateer contest and Joy Ride's very own too.  Do the FKT route between now and midnight on September 30th, then tag us in social media posts at #joyridebikes and #fktcapitolforest after doing the ride with pictures taken on the ride and you'll be eligible for prizes which could be energy gels, Joy Ride caps and beanies and more.  You have to participate to find out what the big prize will be.  We can't spill all the beans all at once.  

The FKT Capitol Forest route has a bit of everything.  Lots of gravel, some road, singletrack and moto trails.  Everything is in prime shape right now in the Capitol Forest and this route will let you sample all of it.

And if you're into Strava, there will be a segment for the entire route.

Disclaimer - this is not a group ride, please recreate responsibly.  Follow the rules of the road and ride smart.  Now go out there and have fun!  We did update our contest date to go through the 30th since we had some much smoke when we rolled it out.
