We’ll be posting more soon about the event, but it was a huge success. We had over 200 riders participate, with temps hovering just under 100°.
Huge thanks to our sponsors: Salsa, Surly, Clement, TwinSix, BelgiumBike, Waterworks, and Enzo’s.

That photo will all the riders looks awesome. Who would have know that so many people would have an interest in the gravel. It was great to see everyone, the wedding was amazing and the 26 hours roundtrip of driving were way too long. We will be moving back to IL at the end of June.
best,
