Fatty Gravel Challenge Sunday


Fatty Gravel Fun with Josh completing The Boondoggle Events FKT Winter Challenge in Livingston, Ky. 61.8 miles with 6,600 ft. of climbing. Conditions were not optimal to put down a race time with peanut butter gravel mud. 😳 Like riding with your brakes on. 😂 No worries, the challenge was either race or simply completing it. ✔️ 8 steep major climbs with grades of 15-25%. Green Pond Ridge Road reminded me of Brasstown Bald but shorter thank goodness. Haha Sections that were 30%. Holy Moly. I felt pretty good on the climbs today. Great start to 2025. The weather was awesome with sunshine & 60 degrees. Proud of Josh! Today was tough yet he wouldn’t quit no matter how much he wanted to kill me. 🤣 Nothing like dogs chasing you while climbing. haha Big props to Keith of Boondoggle Events. I’ve done his The Forty 5 race twice. We also raced his Winter Gravel TT a few years ago. Keith knows how to make people suffer. Moohaha! You’ll sleep well tonight Joshium. 😆 We climbed 10,000 ft in two rides this week. Pretty darn good for February. Oh yeah we stopped at Buc-ees twice. Fun stuff!




















Venga!
