Gravel Ride of the Week: Alpine Loop Gran Fondo 2021

#Gravel #RideoftheWeek #AlpineLoop
Some bike rides are simply grand adventures. Rides that take you deep into unknown mountains, through incredible natural beauty and push you past the mental limits that you set for yourself. The latest Gravel Ride of the Week is one of those rides! The 2021 Jeremiah Bishop Alpine Loop Gran Fondo delivered one unforgettable experience. On this epic ride, I set a personal record for the most elevation gain in one single day, raced up 4 KOM segments and even had to dig deep to complete this challenging ride after an unfortunate crash. All in all, this ride was one for the books and I’m confident that you’ll enjoy following along with this amazing ride. Check it out!

Awesome effort! Way to own those climbs after the crash🤙🏻

[@MountainRoadRide]

I was determined to get through that ride. I put in the training and it felt so rewarding to get to the end. Thanks for watching!

Considering the gravel, would this be doable on 25 mm road tires?

[@MountainRoadRide]

It’s certainly possible, but there is always the risk to puncture. I saw a few riders take regular road bikes up those gravel climbs, and a few of them ended up with flats. The route is mostly on paved roads, so if you can get through the gravel sections without issues, it will actually be the faster setup to run 25mm. If you can, push it to 28mm or 30mm, it should make for a smoother ride overall.
