The East Texas Showdown is a self-supported event through Sam Houston National Forest and The Davy Crockett National Forest that blurs the lines between a traditional bikepacking race and gravel races. Prepare to explore the most obscure and forgotten roads of Texas. As the organizers said, “We want even the locals to be wondering “what the heck are ya doing way out here”?”
There will also be East Texas Slowdown and East Texas Lowdown rides hosted for those who’d like to take it nice and easy.
