The Daily Grind: January 23rd, 2013

New Event Announcement: 

Got an itch to ride in the mountains off pavement, but not on a mountain bike? This might appeal to you. Arguably the highest race of its sort on Gravel Grinder News, the "Colorado Dirt" race is set for August 17th, 2013.

The event will consist of a 130 mile or so course featuring 4 legs with checkpoints where riders will be allowed to resupply and receive support in solo, duo, relay, and team categories.

There will be four climbs over 10,000 ft, so bring your lungs and legs in August for some high country, challenging dirt! See the event site for details here.

$100? Lame.

I used to race an entire season of gravel for free in MN, now live in CO and will be interesting to see what a $100 entry fee goes towards.

Hey Ben, all signed up for the AntiEpic. Most likely will do Durango too. MBR Rules! Would be nice if the race director of CO Dirt would chime in here and explain what the über premium entry fees are all about.

Thanks Ride Magnetic! I'll be updating a bunch of info to the site this weekend, so stay tuned.
