It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve been super eager to do Redlands Strada Rossa and it was definitely worth the wait. Last year, I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Redlands by part of the braintrust and was fantastically impressed. It was very different than most gravel I’ve ridden and

Cyclocross is the opposite where you can’t help but to be swept up by adrenaline of racers flying all around the course. While
