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

While pro road racing season is underway from the warm climates of Australia, the Middle East and southern Spain, the opening chapters for North American gravel dismiss comfortable climates and plunge into the cold and moist northern months of north California and Colorado. 

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.

“It’s important to start the year off with momentum and I’m pleased to take the [win]. Perhaps more importantly, I still found some minute details to attend to before the biggest international races are in the crosshairs.”
