EVENTS
Last year was the event’s first time participating in the three- part, gravel points series competition traversing through USFS National Grasslands dubbed the Grasslands Triple Crown . The three events include Grassland Gravel in Fort Pierre on July 18, Thunderhawk Wide Open in Lemmon on August 15, and Wheelin’ to Wall on September 26. Originally Geigle had simply asked the groups if they would be willing to share their participation lists to continue to grow attendance. “When asked, the event directors not only said yes, but yes to a collaboration to market the three events in a royal effort,” said Geigle. “I realized how small my dream was, and they saw possibilities beyond my imagination.” Finishers of all three rides receive a custom commemorative metal sculpture designed by Lemmon rancher and artist Ethan Thom . Point series winners are awarded hand-tooled leather crowns.
