In the Central Iowa region, I see a lot of 40s and 50s gravel riders. Some of the really strong local riders are in there 40s and 50s.
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/st...port/33286263/ Sarah Cooper is mid40s. She crossed the country in 13 days and currently oversees 4 gravel races in the region.
https://www.cxmagazine.com/2019-iowa...ansiowa-legacy Greg Grandgeorge is a mid50s triathlete, trainer, and general endurance gravel racer. Ive seen him in a few events and see his name a lot more in all the events i dont dare attempt.
Funny that the 2 links show both riders with relatively slow avg speeds in a post where I say they are really talented, but they were both endurance distance events.
I am late30s and often feel like late50s, so does that count? Age is a state of mind, right?
