How I prepared For My First Gravel Grinder
Hey, what’s up, everyone! After taking on the 240 mile Day Across Minnesota Gravel Race, I wanted to put together a recap of the race. In this video series, you’ll find everything from the training, food and nutrition, the bike setup and all the other little things that I did leading up to the race.
I went into this event with the goal to race it. I prepared and put a lot of time, effort and money into this. Ultimately it helped me finish in 14:30 and take 11th place overall.
My goal with this video series is to help anyone else who's looking to take on a big gravel grinder or any long endurance ride. I split up this video guide into different chapters so you can watch whatever areas pique your interest. Whatever your goal is, I hope you can find something within this video series to help you achieve it.
