Foco Fondo is our biggest local gravel event and TPC had employees racing the 32mi, 60mi, 100mi, and 118mi distances. Bruce decided to use it as a “training race” so he rode his full-suspension mountain bike to get some extra time on it before Leadville. Can he keep up with faster gravel bikes? (No.) Will he regret his decision? (Yes.)
