Year 2 of doing the Suarez Gran Fondo National Race in Boone. In 2023 I was prepping for IM WC in Nice, so I decided to use this race as some climbing prep and pretty much treated it like a 100 mile ride on my TT bike, versus a gran fondo of racing the timed segments. This year, I used my gravel bike, put on my TT bike wheels and raced it a little more traditionally. Overall, it such a beautiful Course (lots of it is on the Blueridge Parkway) and some fun climbing in the NC mountains.
Race wise it went reasonably well with 10th in my category.
