Now accepting 2023 Letters of Intent committee@thefalltour.com

I will be joining the gathering to get my fair share of abuse. Hoping to get there Friday afternoon. Don't know how much riding I'll do since I lack adequate fitness

Definitely looking forward to a dose of VIVA!

Yours Truly, Jerry McClung

Yo guys! Planning to see friends, camp, and test out the mtb again. Haven’t ridden it yet since ankle surgery so gonna keep it easy. Probably will only be there for the weekend. Stoked up.

-Denzel

I'm in, may be a day, may be a full pull. I guess time will tell.

What phase of the moon provides the most bountiful energy harvest from your crystals?

Are hardtails the proper mechanism for transcending forsest realms?

Is Rowdy Town even rowdy?

ALL TRUTHS SHALL BE REVEALED (and maybe some other things) upon the return of....

CALIFORNIA DAD

Dear committee,
Day 4 is all I can do when you all are tuckered out. Don will guide me and help me through some version of it.
Daniela

Dear Committee,
I intend to attend some of the Tour.

I will be there to enjoy the FOW, 4 days of the tour and if the star align the ever elusive 4:20 rollout.

VIVA!

NewY

For the committee,

I hear by declare my intentions to be a part of this year’s esteemed and greatly anticipated 2023 tour. It is with great excitement that announce I will be joining the tour Thursday evening for Friday and Saturdays joyous celebration of comradeship.

Viva!
I am in for the full pull to represent the ladies!

Finally gonna make a damn tour. In for Saturday and Sunday.

Viva!

Bobby James

Tour committee,
Hoping to beg your indulgence and allow me to bring some older blood to your esteemed tour. I offer Durty D to vouch for my abilities as a rider. He tells me I can do it, although the climbing numbers scare the bejeebers out of me eh.

Sorry, only looking to ride 3/3 days, arriving in the PM on Friday the 3rd due to logistics.

Otto Wevers

G intends to be there to make sure everyone is safe and having a good time.

Full pulls are past history but hopefully we will ride a bit and we will certainly embrace the Viva.

Andiamo!

Farmer G

Dearest Committee,

I write to you to declare that, come hell or high water, I will complete my first full pull this year.

VIVA!

Ba-La-Ke

Dear committee,

Day late and. Dollar short,

I'll see y'all Friday night

-Damnit Gary

To the Committee,

I am slated to have my peak on November 3-6 this year, so it only makes sense to use it at the greatest of all tests, The Fall Tour. I am flying in from Zurich on Thursday and hope to come straight to the compound. My handlers have assured me that they will be able to control the crowd, so no expected delays. If my baggage and all of my bikes arrive on Wednesday to the compound as scheduled, I trust the compound concierge will handle all of the appropriate protocols and have my things waiting and my accomodations in order. My intention is to spend four days in the midst of some great company, ride some bikes and generally have a great time.

Viva!

Jeff

Dear committee,

I am in for the whole shebang. See yall Thursday night

Viva!
Austin MF Stevens

Esteemed Committee

In typical lil Jake fashion I have torpedo’d myself OTB on the small wheel bike and fractured my wrist with impeccable timing. It does not seem I’ll have enough time to heal fully, so will join sir Thomothy in SAG duty: samurai style!

God luck and good speed. Viva!!
lil Jake

What is up tour committee

Always an exciting time of year as offseason=tour season. Excited for my first attempt of a fall tour full pull. See you hooligans out there

JB #2

Esteemed "Committee",

It's time to leave the pea gravel and alpine chunk behind to reconnect with some Georgia roots. Stoked to loam lap and leaf surf my way through a fabulous full pull. Fall is here, VIVA!

Sincerely,
Marco Newman (the fast one ;) love ya Evan)

As the snow begins to fall, and another year comes to an end. It is time once again to migrate south to join the greatest circus on earth, The Fall Tour Invitational. Back to the cold frozen November tours of decades ago. Duct tape shoe covers, sharpie makeovers, and the sound of a soothing saxophone coming from deep within the forest. Many will perish along the way, or just think they are dying because they ate one too many treats. While others will overcome the physical and mental struggle to complete a full pull. I intend to ride all four days of the 2023 Fall Tour, and look forward to some of the best days of the year.

Viva!!
G reg

Don't take candy from strangers.

Howdy,

I offer a revised version of the Lord's Prayer

The loam father who art in heaven hallowed be thy shred

Thy trail run thy brush get swamped as it is in pnw. Give us this day our daily shred and forget those who get mad at us for trespassing. As we don't care if someone trespasses on us. And lead us not to cut the course. But deliver us a good line

For thine is the earth made up of carbon and other stuff.

Let the loamer be with you

Viva, JB

Please be prepared for a few of us everyday.
the Newman's (Don)

Committee,

I plan to be spinning, pinning, and grinning for all four days of this year's tour. Can't wait to be riding in leaves, sliding with ease, ideally not colliding into trees

Evan Newman

Dear esteemed committee,

As of days gone by
I find myself
Ready to ride

Like years of old
We ride in leafy trail
And suffer in the cold

Into the future
I find myself
Ready to ride

Like years of old
We party until told
And D says no more

Chicken paw

Cancelation of original letter of Intent.

Due to some recent unexpected positive life-changing experiences, I must retract my original letter of intent and stay home this year. Give me all the hell for it, I probably deserve it.

Due to more positive life changing experiences and coming to my senses, I now intend to complete a Full Pull like I originally planned before having those original positive life changing experiences. Viva!

- Evan

I D. intend to partake in the 23rd annual Fall Tour Invitational. I plan to arrive just in the nick of time, and contribute to something bigger that ourselves.

P.S don’t turn your back to the fire Slavco!

ViVa - d

I will be there with intentions of a full pull. I have been training hard to be in the upper lower third of results, or the lower middle third whichever is fine. Looking forward to 4 days of VIVA!

Connell

Committee,
I'm tighter than a rubber chicken's shoelaces, boys and girls! Ready to rip up them NE Georgia trails in my first November full pull at the wild hootenanny we fondly refer to as THE Fall Tour Invitational!

VIVA!
Forsberg

To the "Committee",
Where to start? I could go on and on about my last Tour, the infamous 2016 "grill gate" tour, or the dubious 2015 "fire pit" tour, but I would end up writing a book about those experiences. PA has assured me that things are way "tighter" now, but when I think of PA and the word "tight", loose bearings come to mind. Anyways, I plan on posting up at surf camp either Friday night or sometime Saturday and can help with sag and kitchen stuff. I'm guessing this will mostly be an early Festivus for me, as the great Frank Costanza said, "I got a lot of problems with you people!" Not to worry, 99 percent of my grievances will be directed at Durty. Durty and I have a few things we need to talk about over the fire...

Slavy
P.S. I'm not bringing a bike so if anyone has a spare e-bike they're willing to loan out I'm willing to make a donation to the Human Fund in their name.

A November Tour is getting back to our roots. Cold nights make the fire all that much better. Stoked to surf the goods we all love with the finest folks I know. Full pull for this mug. Lets get it on!

Viva le Tour!

Natty D

“Men of action are favored by the goddess of good luck.” Men of The Tour are favored by the goddess of dope single, endless descents, and unmatched good times.

I’m in for 4. God luck and good speed. VIVA

Keller

VIVIA EVERYDAY, especially these 4 days in November. With the Tour going back to it's roots with a November tour.... wet, cold, leafy and RAD AF - it'll surely test the will and fortitude of the peleton.

I'm hereby declaring my intent to attend all 4 days of the most prestigious bike race on the planet - THE 2023 FALL TOUR INVITATIONAL.

Rabun County land owner - droop

Committee members,
Stars may align this year. Hoping for some multi-day adventuring.
Can't wait. See y'all soon.

Roger

Dear esteemed committee,

I am writing to inform those whom it may concern of my intent to run the fuck outta sag this year. I have recently been struggling with some issues related to my Spring Classic crash that have been keeping me off the dangole bike. I was hell bent on being back on my by bullshit by the Tour, but alas, it wasnt meant to be.

Gosh darnit, riding or not, I'ma be there with my dawgs through and through.

Viva,
Tom

I'm hereby declare my intent to make a full pull at the 2023 Fall Tour. I'll be there Thursday to help with final tightening of trails and camp.

Seth

I'm planning to be there for the full pull.

-doug aka butters

I'm gonna try the first 3 days. I was getting in killer shape but things have gotten crazy in life. All good tho. Think I still got enough edge to knock a day or two back.

Matt "Turbo" Gentry

To the tightest highest badest radest fallest commiteest I will be ready for a Sunday Monday Funday!

Viva, Howie

Binge really does suck. Then I heard the tour dates were moved to mess up my fams universal trip.
I like roller coasters and was in a pinch, Damnit Gary. Few weeks later the binge still sucked.
I tried to ride and feel better, but each time I questioned why I was even riding a bike...
is this shit really necessary especially since there was no fall tour to look forward too, no hope for the 1st ever full pull, Damnit Gary, binge sucked, the body and mind were broke.
Was the last of Big Wes being motivated enough to stay in good enough shape to follow you fucking freaks up and down all those big ass hills.
Then the tides turned,
the universal trip was canceled,
bros and bikes will cost a family man many a trial,and Damnit Gary ain't helping,
so I may stuff his ass with a dose of Megatower to learn him a lesson.
Barring any illness or injury, I, Big Wes, will attempt the full pull....again.

Til then, mow grass and go fast.
-Wes

I intend to do all 4 days. I'm gonna do what I can to get good times on the trail, but I also want to put in the work in the kitchen and keep the fire going so we can stay up late & listen to some classic tour tunes.
