What a race! The 4th Annual Sub-9 Gravel Grovel was held on Saturday, November 24th and what a turn out we had. Our largest field of 250 riders gathered at the Midwest Trail Ride and Horseman's Camp for the popular year-end event!
While temps remained a little chilly throughout the day, participants still enjoyed a spectacular ride on the hilly roads in and around the Hoosier National Forest. Riders gathered for a mass start just before 10 a.m. and after a few final instructions followed the SRAM lead out car to begin the 62-mile race. As 10:30 a.m. approached the Fun Riders lined up to begin their tour along the 25-mile course.
It was an exciting finish for our top three 62-mile racers as they sprinted across the creek leading back to the Midwest Trail Ride Horseman's Camp. In an unfortunate miscalculation, the lead rider missed the final turn and was passed just before the Start/Finish line. Congratulations to Ryan Shanahan of Bloomington, IN on his win at the 4th annual event!
