Gorgeous Ride
I did the 40 mile ride in 2021 and had so much fun that I signed up for the 60 miler for 2022. The views were insanely beautiful. I loved that the ride included such a diverse group of people and athletes of varying abilities. You can race or you can just ride, with no judgement...as it should be! The event organizers are the shizz, and I appreciate them bringing us this super smooth, super fun, pure, unfiltered gravel ride!
