You know Ultra CX and Gravel racing is *really* growing when a well known pro cyclist friend said to me… “One hour of punching* yourself doing laps in a park, versus cool gravel / extreme stuff.”  I couldn’t have said it better myself.  Ultra CX and Gravel racing is GROWING.  Embrace it (hugs).  * = cleaned up.
