Gravel Worlds 150 in Nebraska. 15th in age group and finished under my 8:45 time goal. Top tier effort from the event organizers. 4/5 corns 🌽🌽🌽🌽(minus one corn for the off-putting rebranding)

Who thought racing in Nebraska could be fast and fun??

If you know me, you know I’m not a fan of racing gravel in Nebraska. It’s sandy, boring, slow, and the MMRs are no where close to what Kansas has.

Well, @gravel_worlds definitely changed my opinion this weekend.

I came in with zero expectations, and was just here to have fun. Was cooking with the front group for the first 12 miles before getting popped. Sat up and waited for the 2nd group on the road which was around 40 riders. I was with them til mile 42ish when we were coming up the aerospace museum, and what looked like single track on the map. I was confident enough in my skills so burnt a match to get to the front to lead through that section. Turns out it was not single track, but still worth it to lead through to be the first one into the museum. Which was by far one of the coolest parts of a race I’ve ever been through. Came out of that section, skipped the aid stop and when we got back to the highway the group got narrowed down to about ten. That group worked together for the most part well we caught a group of 4 shortly after. Surprisingly still in the group averaging 20+ mph i was starting to crack. Mistakingly I put my self on the front too many times. Never for more than a minute but still in didnt have the legs. About 4 miles to go i got popped and rode in solo for third in age and 60th overall.

I did everything i planned to a tee. Nutrition was dialed, i drank well, and my blood sugar was perfect, but didn’t have the legs to stay til the end.

Im very proud of this result and excited to build on it for @px120graveldash and the finale of the @greatplainsgravelcup to keep 3rd in u23

Many thanks to @bicycleaccidentlaw , @scarborough_matthew and @the.cowboy.cyclist for helping me get to the start line. And an even bigger thanks to @bicycleaccidentlaw for sponsoring the safety of the event

Thank you to those who support me!!

First @gravel_worlds in the book! Thank you for having @indigocyclingchicago at the expo. It was a huge learning experience and it was great getting to be on the vendor side.

Race strategy went more or less to plan. I started a bit further back then I would have liked but was still part of the front group. It split a few miles in so I tried bridging the gap with @iam_maggiedaly.24 until we got caught by the chase group with @slidewayscycling . I hung on with them until the mile 44 aid station at the @sacaerospacemuseum. A quick nutrition break with @never.second c90 packet (shoutout to the volunteers there @bitbybit_move) I was just in the TT bars for the rest of the race. I rode with a few people here and there but it was a mostly a solo grind. The last 5 miles was absolutely brutal though with the final few rolling hills. My goal time was sub 5 hours so I was pretty happy finishing 4:14:55 and winning the para category for the 75 mile.

Indigo had a great time with both Luiz and Dustin beating their goal time and Richard winning a bike! Also great to catch up with friends i hadn’t seen in ages.

We’ll be back!

Gravel Worlds 🐂

25th overall. 10th in my age group. 148 miles, almost 8,000 feet of climbing and one brutally hot day in Nebraska.

Got caught behind a crash that split me from the front group early. Found a strong chase group, settled in, and we worked well together. We all agreed to stop for water around mile 80, which ended up being a huge call in the heat.

At mile 112, the course took us straight through the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum - easily one of the coolest aid stations I’ve ever ridden through. Stopped there for another quick refill before getting back to work.

As the miles added up, we started passing riders who had gone too deep or didn’t stop enough in the heat. With 7 miles to go, I still had something left, dropped the chase group, and rode into the finish solo.

Really happy with this one. I raced smart, stayed on top of hydration & fueling, and finished feeling surprisingly good! Getting to do this with my teammates Kai, Dustin and Richard made it that much better. We all crushed it, we all brought home some hardware (Richard won a Lauf Bike!).

Riders from all 50 states and 20+ countries came to Nebraska to race bikes on gravel and we got to be part of it.

Great racing. Great people.

Thank you, Nebraska. 🌽🤝

We went a little WILD at Chicago Grit. I know I Know it was a bit ago but we gotta shout out these Prehistoric Kits from @castellicycling . With @clairewan_ and @phil.camaya bringing the chaos with podium finishes during the series. Chicago Grit, you were a good one.

The race calendar has been full, and our crew has been putting in the work. 💜
Over the past few weeks we’ve lined up at Elmhurst, Cobb Park, and TOAD, chasing breakaways, sprinting for the line, supporting teammates, and continuing to grow with every lap.

What’s Next?

Hard to pick a favorite moment from our weekend in Ludington, Michigan for the 100-mile Coast to Coast Gravel Grinder. So much sand, so many laughs, and maybe not enough hydration. Podiums are great, but have you ever found your bike computer in the middle of the road 24 hours after it flew off the roof of the car while driving post-race?? Toby has!!! The Karoo is in fact alive. I’ll be back for the 200-mile main event someday. But for now, I’m proud of our whole crew for finishing a challenging century. And I’m proud of myself for pushing the pace for 70 miles solo to snag the last step on the podium in my category. I’ll be in Ludington again next week, but arriving by ferry. My Mini @mishigamichallenge plans are coming into place. See you again soon, Michigan. 😘
