Can A Beginner Survive The USA’s Roughest Gravel Race?

Beginner gravel rider (and Alex’s wife) Chloe is racing Big Sugar! This 104-mile (168.2km) epic through the Ozarks in Arkansas is renowned for its tough climbs and gnarly gravel, making it one of the hardest events in the US. With the help of Lauf, Humango, FORGE+BOND and advice from new gravel world champ Kasia Niewiadoma, can Chloe survive her first gravel race?
