Alright Good Life, that's Nebraska. Gravel - Mr. Obvious. But the whole time I was riding I kept saying to myself, Wow this is just an unbelievable Adventure. From the time I showed, I was impressed not only with the organizing efforts it takes to put an event like this on, but mostly with the quality of people all around.It wasn't your lolly gag stroll through the park. Once we hit 112th St. it was Game On! Completely dark w/o a front light it was navigate by feel, and for a roadie the sound of gravel getting thick around your tires made me a little nervous. But just like on the road, it's a matter of holding your line,, then let your front wheel float over the thick stuff, and try to slowly move toward the hard pack.
To make a long story short. Exactly nine hours and 135 miles later I finished this event. Those legs up there are amazing devices. This won't be my last Good Life Gravel Adventure. Now if I can just get the flat tire situation under control.

I just saw that you won it! Sweet. I really wanted to go but it just didn't work out this year. I also noticed a Van Deissel in one of the pics...what's the story on that one...
I was looking for you. Thought it would a good test for MJ and JB. The Van Dessel, Gin and Trombones is the new CX ride. It's nice to have a CX specific bike.
