Watching this year’s coverage of the men’s Paris Roubaix, and savoring the chance to watch replay of the Femme coverage, too…I’m resting at home with a cruddy virus. Oh how I would rather be on the bike today!
We adapted “Heck of the North” from this queen of the classics, Paris Roubaix, the “Hell of the North.” It is still one of my favorite things to watch on the TV. It is insane. We decided to swap out centuries old cobblestone for sectors of northwoods nastiness. We have unkept forest paths, frost-heaved forest roads and rock-strewn hunting trails. We try our best to keep the namesake proud.
You may notice that I do not spend a lot of time on the social media lately. Indeed, I seem to find better ways to spend my time. But just because we do not document every minute of prep for our upcoming events does not mean we are not passionate as ever about these gravel “Heck’s of the North” that are quickly approaching! I hope your training is going well. We have our fingers crossed that mother nature will melt some of the snow and keep the four horseman of the apocalypse at bay this year.
Please reach out if you have questions about any part of the upcoming gravel and bikepacking season. We are here to help! Until next time, be Graveleer!
