Jody's story: Monkey Knife Fight

BaseCamp athlete Jody Twer shared her experience at the 2026 Monkey Knife Fight gravel bike race in Pennsylvania.

I did this ride two years ago…it snowed last year, so I skipped it. The MKF raises money for pediatric cancer and is always well attended and very well run. I was very happy to complete the 50-mile route with 4700 ft uphill…kind of my fitness assessment for the rest of the season! This ride is NO JOKE! The monkeys are funny, but the climbs are brutal. I conquered all but Goat Hill…walked up with the best of them. 😂

If you’re in the area, check it out next year…and bring your climbing legs.
