Joe may have won the race, but your recap is definitely on top 😂

Haha that means a lot! I'd still give him the edge on the writing. He also is far more prolific (though that is his job outside of racing haha)

Congratulations on your outstanding performance and kudos for searching for and finding the best in yourself and others, despite, or perhaps because of, your imposter syndrome!

That was such a wonderful weekend. It really was a gift. Your writing is splendid. Now I go into surgery with confidence in thinking of next years Rattlesnake Gravel Grind! ❤️

Congratulations on your outstanding performance. You were only one bush away from first place. However the way you interact with the amateur racers and inspire them is second to no one.
