How's it, bike racers?? I'm practicing my Hawaii slang, I don't know why.
But hey, Chino Grinder in Arizona is ON for this year! October 18. I wasn't aware that it changed to an autumnal ride, from a spring ride, following covid. And I'm actually excited to ride it again, even after the mid-race cancellation in 2016 due to sudden, inclement weather which is called springtime in the southwest. Why are so many amazing rides and races scheduled during the worst weather of the year? I digress...
This is a tough course. It's changed a bit since the last time I did it in 2017, but ass whoop is likely guaranteed. At least for the 120. A good friend at Shendo Cat asked me to spread the word. And it happens over my birthday weekend...so ;)
