I will be heading back to Tipton, IA for the Snaggy Ridge 105 gravel race in a few weeks. I was unprepared for the experience last year, but in my defense it was my first gravel race, ever. Not sure I’ve learned enough, or am fit enough, to be more than an “also-ran”, but I couldn’t say “no” to the incredible benchmark that doing it again, a year on, will be.
ATM, there aren’t many people vying for the generous prizes. But if it’s anything like last year, the roster will fill up quickly the last couple weeks.
The Snaggy Ridge 105 is a gravel grinder through scenic Cedar County, Iowa. The race benefits a local Tipton Not for Profit. There are 3 lengths including 105 miles, 65 miles, and 25 miles. It is a race for both serious riders and those out to have a good time.
