That opening of the bar by hitting it on the stem waa a thing of beauty. My expectation for my own try is going to he high, yet you know the reality is going to be so different.

This year's gravel course was basically last year's xc mountain course. I wish I could have made it to Sea Otter this year.

I came over from the UK with my bike to ride La Gravillia this year as well. Technical single-track, sandy sections and that last climb in that heat 😮....I was pooped. That mid point water station needs improving though. You defo need bike handling skills for some of those descents. Looks like you had a great time too. Defo recommend doing it for any gravel rider.
