4th Annual Singlespeed Smackdown!


One Gear and Lots of Beer! 

The Smackdown is BACK for year four! Come join the Singlespeed Militia on Saturday, October 2, 2021 for a singlespeed-only ride in the North Georgia mountains. 

If you're stupid enough to ride a singlespeed on purpose, then this is the event for you.  You want long, leg-burning climbs that will make you regret taking your gears off? We've got that. You want rocky, slick, muddy, relentless descents that will have you whining for your full suspension rig? We've got that. You want to finish the day with good beer, good food, and good people after your ride? We've got that, too!

The Singlespeed Smackdown starts at Mulberry Gap and will take us up to Potato Patch; down Mountaintown Creek; around Bear Creek and all of Pinhoti 1 and 2. After about 35 miles, the ride finishes at Mulberry Gap where you'll be met with great food, beer, and some fantastic raffle prizes from our awesome sponsors. Your fee includes a custom t-shirt (designed by Militia riders Josh Bowden and Daryl Myers). There will be a sag stop to refill your water bottles and participate in the double-secret Smackdown Challenge!  Tee shirts NOT guaranteed for those who register after August 31, 2021.
