Frank - thanks so much for the rice cake for the race! Super helpful and I look forward to improving my time in 2022!
I have Mammoth Tuff in CA mid-Sept and then the Hammerroad Rally (Levi’s event) in Mid-October - both similar distance with more climbing than Steamboat Blue course.
Should I be jumping into IN SEASON GRAVEL this week to lead me up to both of these events and then after my last race in Mid-October go back to Sweet Spot 18 to start building for next season. Our grasshopper adventure series of road/gravel races in NorCal should start back up in Feb and then Shasta Hugger gravel race in Mt. Shasta in March.
Hopefully it isn’t too smoky back in boulder. Smoky here today in Grand Junction and Fruita.
Cheers, Mark
