Once upon a time, Sierra and I signed up for both the STP and the RSVP. I also signed up for three gravel races, the Gamble Graveller, Bon Jon Pass Out, and the Whynotchee. We also dreamed of our first bikepacking trip together. Around these trips anchoring our season we built a summer to remember, but not everything went to plan.
