@tinman Seems fairly obvious you don't ride in the sauna that is the U.S. Southeast... you'd be singing a different tune if, when you took off the backpack; it was saturated with your sweat that then crystallized into a…
BTDT, and pushed through the situation. https://advcyclist.blogspot.com/2013/04/not-your-typical-bike-race.html

Consider the source... VeloNews is and has always been predominately a roadie mag, thusly; they are more likely to consider BWR as a "gravel" race when, really; it's just another overpriced GF with a gravel secteur.…
Put in for DKXL; didn't get selected... put in for DK200 and got in. This will be my 5th time starting and, if the DK gods are feeling benevolent, 4th finish. I'm targeting singlespeed this year as a DK goal that I've…
