Reigning US gravel national champion Brennan Wertz (Scott) and Jen Tavé (SpeedBlock p/b Terun) took the victories in the final round of the Grasshopper Adventure Series, King Ridge, held on the rugged roads of west Sonoma County, California. Three three timed segments - Joy Road at mile 17.5, Meyers Grad/Hwy 1 at mile 43 and Hwy 1/Kruse Road at mile 60 - were used to determine the fastest times.
Tavé delivered a time of 1:35:16 on the portions of the course where riders were racing against the clock which was good for the pro women's victory, her second in the series after winning Ukiah Mendo Gravel Epic. Tavé carved out an emphatic margin to runner-up Leslie Etheridge, who was nearly six minutes back, and it was another two-and-a-half minutes more to third-placed Liz Schinski.
