@GRAVELBIKEcom @zenbiking @salsacycles I went with the Fargo at the time for all of the right reasons. They nailed both of those bikes IMO, other than the fixed derailleur hanger on the Gen 1

A summary of this weekend's event for you and all of your friends.

[Cyclocross Magazine @cyclocross]

The end of TransIowa left a spot for a late-April ultra-endurance gravel race. Iowa Wind and Rock stepped in over the weekend with just that.

Apologies for the delay of the finish times. Internet reception in the valley of the park is spotty and we had some prepared postings that didn't go out like we thought.
