On the Rivet

The FoCo Fondo has joined forces with three independent Colorado gravel races to create the Colorado Summer of Gravel Series. Four races built on an omnium format with payouts for women, men and non-binary racers. Points and placings are separate to overall race results. i.e. You may be 118th place at CO2UT in the overall for the 125 mile race results but 7th Male SOG finisher and you would receive points based on the 7th place male finisher in the SOG standings.

Peter Discoe and the Ramble Rides crew have added a race to their usually super chill portfolio.  Race the Ramble is a 125-mile gravel race in Jackson County, Colorado in late August. Here's the twist, racers must compete in teams of two or four riders.

Whit and Zack with Bike Sports are hosting several training rides leading into this summer’s FoCo Fondo. The rides are free, but you must sign a waiver. The Fondo takes place on July 23rd.
