Uncle John's Gravel Race - Fatty Sttle

Awesome day in St. John's Michigan with Josh & The Beast. 800 racers. I took 2nd Place with Josh 3rd in 57 mile Fat Bike class. 20.1 mph avg. Yeah! We missed catching the group ahead where the 1st Place Fat Bike was. It was a bit chaotic at the start.  We stayed close for the first half. Our group diminished tho and we lost time on the way back. Josh and I put in a lot of work. I finished 12 seconds ahead of him during the crazy two track to the line. Sean 23.8 avg on his gravel bike. 26th place overall / 5th 50-59. A flying rock hit Josh's eye breaking his sunglasses, but he is ok. Another rock flew off the guy in front of me breaking off my Go Pro. Couldn't stop to get it at 25 mph.  I had some good footage too. I took some vid on the I Phone after that. New camera on the way tho. This race was not planned. Bonus. I also had a head cold. I didn't feel great except my legs, but that's a great average speed for 57 miles. 2nd place is A OK. Josh and Sean killed it! What a great 6 weeks of racing!















Venga!
