Keegan Swenson came off the win at Sea Otter Classic Gravel and defending his title in The Growler.

Keegan Swenson (Santa Cruz htSQD) used extra effort in the final miles to defend his men's title at The Growler at Levi's Gran Fondo, while last year's women's runner-up Lauren Stephens (Ventum) moved to the top step with a solo ride on Saturday.

It was just the second year that The Growler offered a cash purse for the elite riders, with $156,000 on the line to be split evenly among the top 10 men and women on the rugged course, featuring 13,000 feet of vertical gain. A live broadcast was also provided for the final three hours of the two divisions.
