This weekend, we’re racing the Grand Junction Rides and Vibes, a two day event with a fat tire criterium on Day 1 and a 40 mile backcountry race on Day 2. This is the second event of the Singletrack Series and after both having good races at event one, Moab Rocks, we have high hopes for this one. It’s technical, rocky and all the things we like. But, here’s the thing with bike racing. Sometimes you give everything you have, and still come up short.
