South Park, Colorado is an area most people drive through to reach ritzy ski resorts and other mountain destinations. It's the size of Delaware, yet only has a few paved roads (the 2-lane highways intersecting it). And while I don't have official numbers, I'm fairly certain bison outnumber human residents. It also happens to be a awesome place to ride a gravel bike!
I'm sitting here in Colorado looking at fresh snow on the ground as I'm thinking about my recent mountain biking in Sedona, Arizona and Moab, Utah. Thankfully I'm still plenty stoked from the trip, which makes our sub-freezing temps more tolerable.
Congratulations to Nick Gould and teammate, Travis Hauck, for dominating the Open Men Duo category at TransRockies Classic with an overall time of 24:34:48 while winning all seven stages!

I made the drive to Emporia, Kansas, AKA Gravel City, for Dirty Kanza last week and am still buzzing from the experience. If you like suffering on dirt roads, great hospitality, and oversized food portions, Emporia was the place to be.
