Farmer's Daughter 2023
Sunday May 21.
Anyone up for it this year? It looks like they got rid of the muddy mountain biking trails at the beginning which will be a big improvement, especially with how wet this year is so far. http://www.farmersdaughtergravelgrinder.com |

I actually enjoyed those sections last year (though a bit of a traffic jam). I would be doing it again, but getting ready to move around then.

That's good. Those trails so close to the start of a mass start event were really not gravel bike friendly IMO.
This one is not in the cards for me this year but I look forward to the revised route in the future.

That first section featured deep chocolate pudding consistency mud. One year I even did the whole event on a mountain bike. Most people are off their bikes walking and grumbling in those conditions. I think dropping that section is a net positive for them. |

I am photographing . . .
. . . the event for Andy and will likely be on the bike of a moto. Those single track sections are indeed a pain if it's wet. But they make great photos!
HERE are pics from last year's FDGG, and at this point I am also shooting Toad Strangler, Great North, and Tour of the Battenkill. BBD
