Dear Committee,
ready for a big four days of dodging trees, lots of laughs, and ripping chongers from sun up to sun down and beyond.
Full intentions on a full pull!
JB #2
Georgia, It has been too long. I have not ridden in the tour since 5 for 15. Full pull, if the body allows.
North Carolina Alex
I intend to only crash lightly
-Anna
Ready to get sketchy and suffer with a gnarly group of rippers for the first 3 days! Let’s gooo
ClinTON
To the Committee and those reading these letters of intent,
In the mountains high, where the air is alive,
We pedal our bikes, shouting “Viva!” with pride.
Through winding trails and forests so green,
Each twist and turn feels like a dream.
The sun spills gold on the peaks all around,
With laughter and joy, our spirits unbound.
“Viva!” we cheer as we conquer each climb,
In this wild, wondrous place, we lose track of time.
Over rocky paths, we race with delight,
Chasing the clouds, hearts soaring in flight.
With every descent, the thrill makes us scream,
In the mountain’s embrace, we live out our dream.
So here’s to the rides, where our worries take flight,
In the beauty of nature, everything feels right.
“Viva!” we shout, as we roll side by side,
In the heart of the mountains, our souls open wide.
All 4 days!
- Droop
It’s already been a year!?! Can’t wait to rip some MTB gold with everyone, going for a full pull this year!
Denzel
Late as usual but hoping to make all 4 days this year. I'm definitely not going to ride hard though. . .
Neal
Committee,
First timer. Honored to be included in such a storied and prestigious event. Anything worth doing is worth over doing - I’m all in. Full Pull!
-Calvin Peters
Esteemed Committee,
Not sure if we’ve got the watts to take on this year’s fastest (and oldest) Newman brother, but I’ll sure as hell try! Stoke is high for 4 days of wrong turns on the fullest of pulls.
Viva,
Marco
G has a bit more than his heart and lack of dirt time for an excuse this year.
Day 1 will be 4 weeks from a big gravel off and 3 weeks from clavicle surgery. Broke every rib on my left side as a bonus.
Should be good enough to help with sag and surf camp duty.
All I know is I need to get the fuck out of this house.
Viva! - Farmer G
Stoked for the 24242424 full pull!
VIVA!
-Em
To all you rad folks out there, some of whom I’ve met and some I haven’t (yet),
I intend to pull up on Saturday and Sunday for my first two slices of Fall Tour humble pie. I’m beyond excited to enjoy some of the finest trails around with some of finest people around!
Pumped to be stoked for Fall Tour ‘24!

Helene has been mean, but you can’t break the Durty. Trees have fallen but spirits are high.

Hello, Sir (and, mayhaps, Madam) Organizers.
I intend to attend the Fall Tour and ride some bits and pieces of trail and road during the event.
With fervent hopes of inclusion,
Josephchisunka
There's a glimmer dare I say sparkle of chance for a weekend appearance. For all the DFL'rs out there I have some sage advice. Start off slow and try to hang on!
Clegg
After reading the LOIs for this year, I cannot but help to feel the stoke level rise, and the commitment reach full scale.
Jake Meyer all 4 days
PS: Droop, if you spend the night at your house Newy will play face punch with you and uncle Josh shaffer will video.
Esteemedest committee,
I intend to complete a full pull for this 24’est of fall tours. Rumor has it this is the year of 24242424 though this remains unverified as scientists worldwide struggle to prove the existence of the number 2. A few beers followed by some vigorous panic intervals should give me the edge I need to finish upper mid pack in the race for the shower stalls
This year’s fastest Newman,
Evan N
To the raddest group of folks I know.
I here declare my intent so full pull. Can't wait for four days of Tom foolery, bikes and beer.

Pulling for the PNW contingent, Tacoma Chapter, I’m here to inform the committee for my intentions of the fullest of pulls.
- West Coast Nick
To the distinguished committee of the Fall Tour,
I hereby submit my letter of intent for a full pull in the 242424242424 edition of this legendary 4-day dirt adventure in the heart of the Dirty South. My goal? To be somewhere on the top half of the list, ahead of Forsberg, and still put together by Monday.
Here’s to four days of riding single, seeing double, and pulling triples.
VIVA, Keller
In for the full pull. Looking forward to 4 days of fun in the center of the universe!

- Gentry
To the coolest mother funkers on the planet, Big Wes,
The shoulder still a mess, Segars will be coming in on Sunday AM bc some chick made some shitty wedding plans. Reoccurring BS Damnit Gary. But 2 extra days of rehab to be had for whatever position I need to take for the fam. Curling that Terra Incognita RIGHT NOW just working out the kinks.
Mow grass n go fast mother funkers.
Big Wes
It's high time to get prepared for the 2424242424242424th Annual Fall Tour Invitiational. Gonna be some radness all around - no matter the time of day (or night). Likely be at my mountain house at night in hopes that I can keep a distance from some of the debauchery that occurs after midnight. That is my intent but not likely what's going to happen. What will happen is I will rip and ride for 4 days across the senic North Georgia mountains hootin' and hollerin' VIVA!
VIVA YALLS!
droop
A rider, fit and keen,
Makes a declaration, so clean,
To ride the Fall Tour's full pull,
No matter how steep or how dull,
Their spirit, they'll never cede.
Four days of biking, a sight,
Under the autumn moon's light.
Through hills and valleys, they'll glide,
With determination, they'll abide,
In the mountain bike race, they'll shine bright.
So, let it be declared,
A full pull, my intent, bared.
In the 2024 Fall Tour,
They'll ride, they'll endure,
A true cycling tale, to be shared.
Butters
To all Them it may concern:
My intent is to ride the 2024 Fall Tour in and around Clayton Georgia in its entirety.
Mayhem!
Joshua Schaffer
Dearest Committee,
I'm in. Hopefully, all four days. I'll bring the wood.
