🚨 PODIUM ALERT 🚨
Our very own went HUGE this weekend and landed himself on the third step at the !! was resplendent in his stars and bars para national champs kit and rolled in for SEVENTH overall just a few minutes back. and also completed the race!

I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor from having watched these guys. Riding through the night, cross winds all day, and very little horsing around at the check points. Massively impressive accomplishment to everyone that rode! Great job on another fantastic event !!
