This week, we’re heading to Grand Junction, Colorado for the Rides 'N Vibes Filthy 40. This event features a downtown criterium race, as well as a long backcountry event with a sizeable payout and attracts some top talent from around the US. The course is also rough, chunky desert singletrack – our favorite kind of riding and trails that really play to our strengths. However, for whatever reason, we’ve never quite managed to nail this race. This year, we’re in the best shape of our lives, and feeling excited for the challenge. We’re both in really good places mentally and physically – unfortunately, we’re about to get slammed by things outside of our control.
