303Cycling has my Gowdy Grinder article posted here (http://303cycling.com/2012-Gowdy-Grinder). On Sunday I raced in the Intermediate category of the Gowdy Grinder at gorgeous Curt Gowdy State Park in southeast Wyoming. Following my finish (16th out of 58), I immediately grabbed my camera and headed out on the course to capture the Open Men and Women racers rip the extremely fun and challenging course. Following are some of the images to hopefully give you a sense of what it’s like to race the Grinder.
