The dust is nearly settled.

We'll do a full post with results and race/ride report within the next week. Sorry for the wait, but we're still picking up the pieces while trying to get in rides and prep for Almanzo this weekend. Here are a couple of our favorite shots from the Cup to hold you over. Click on them for larger version.

Two last shout outs ...

Thanks to Twin Six for the awesome prizes that just showed up. Quality stuff that makes you look good. Also Fitzwerks has been on the scene helping as usual which is much appreciated. More on the Fitzy Roll bike ride taking place June 1 Bismarck to be announced later.

5 days and counting till ...

Get your bike in shape, your body tuned up and your appetite for gravel prepped. It's right around the corner ...

Crush Gravel

Trevor Lettman over at Space2Burn, responsible for such websites as Almanzo is writing songs as well as website code. He laid some of his band's (Highchair Kings) singles on us a while back and what better time then a week before the Burleigh County Cup to jam out to Crush Gravel?
