If Colin Strickland (meteor X giordana) wanted to win his second-straight Gravel Worlds p/b Lauf True Grit on the gravel roads outside Lincoln, Nebraska in 2018, it would not come easy.
Early in the race, Strickland could be found marooned on the side of the road with a slow-leaking flat. When he finally weighed anchor and got back on the road, he found himself nearly 15 minutes behind the leaders with 100 miles left in the race.
Strickland charged back and eventually took the lead with Mat Stephens (Panaracer/Stan’s NoTubes p/b Bicycle X-Change) after Checkpoint 2 before escaping to take home his second-straight win in 7:09:54.
