Harsh weather accompanies US gravel season openers at Low Gap and Old Man Winter - Gallery

Peter Stetina (Canyon) and Kate Courtney (Rivian/Allied/Red Bull) grabbed the glory in Ukiah, California on January 26 at the opening round of the Grasshopper Adventure Series, five events on tap through May 10. This past weekend it was Noah Granigan (Miami Blazers) and Lauren De Crescenzo (Factor/The Feed/Wahoo/PERC) who took victories in windy conditions at Old Man Winter Bicycle Rally in Colorado.
