There has been lots of hubbub lately about what “gravel” and “racing “ really mean. What started as a American tradition in the manner of mountain biking and bourbon, Gravel has now been fully embraced by our neighbors across the pond. And if the Americans can invent something, the Euros can take it to another level. So let’s go find out what the first UCI sanctioned gravel race is all about. Each time we go through Bishop we get more enthused about going back. While Mammoth Lakes is definitely not Bishop, it’s close enough that we can overlook that small detail. Keep in mind the UCI gravel races are shorter and faster than the Yank version so expect 90 miles of full gas romping through the semi arid terrain that makes this part of the country unique. But of course there are still big mountains to contend with, and fast Belgies. Registration opens February 10.
