Gravel Ring Rally Take2 with Chris on mostly loaded bikes. Final Rockstar shakedown. Everything went well. About an hour faster than last year. Knees were really creaky. Got a bike refit with Bill a few days later, and my seat had grossly moved at some point, either in True Grit travel or during the dropper rebuild.

Got an invite to join the Battley/Harley-Davidson Road team this season, so headed out to their training camp in WV after work. Raw Talent Ranch is truly and amazing place. Nestled on top of a ridge, you’re guaranteed tons of climbing, whether riding Road or trail. The women were kind of trashed from a 90mi ride he previous evening, so wasn’t especially peppy. Led out for them and solo’ed the final 5mi climb.
