""Sandy was pushing really hard and we were going for that $500 prize by Bicycle Law at the top. Sandy and I went back and forth, and Sandy got me at the line at the top.""
""I knew there was a long descent to the finish. I was climbing pretty strong so I just put my head down and went as hard as I could at the top.""
Justin Peck, a 22-year-old mountain biker, achieved a solo victory in the men's event of the Ukiah Mendo Gravel Epic, a part of the Grasshopper Adventure Series in California. He completed the 76-mile course in 4 hours, 7 seconds, overcoming a muddy terrain that favored his mountain biking background. Peck's strategic ascent during the race allowed him to break free from a competitive field and secure a two-minute lead over the second-place finisher. The challenging elevation and prize incentives highlighted the competitive nature of the event, attended by approximately 425 riders.
