The Breck Epic -- it's more than a grueling mountain bike race. Just looking at the miles and elevation gain for each of the 6 stages doesn't tell the whole story. Racing day after day and trying to recover all while being above 9,500 feet is a unique challenge. Sleep itself, even when not racing, can be difficult at this elevation. It's not unusual to get winded from simply walking a short flight of stairs in Breckenridge.
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 got a last-minute invitation to ride the recent Colorado Climbing Camp By Haute Route Ambassadors. After hesitating a few minutes I decided I better take advantage of the opportunity and ride as many stages possible (around my work schedule).Â
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.
We're going to be at two of our favorite Arizona events - the Whiskey Off-Road and Chino Grinder - over the next couple of weeks and we want to share our excitement with everyone by giving away Beta Red Pre-Workout Formula.
