We couldn’t have asked for better conditions to race, ride, and hang out in Idlewild Park. The course was running fast, the gravel was good, and from everything we’ve been hearing, riders were pretty stoked on what Cranbrook had to offer.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers and sponsors for supporting our team and helping make the CGG happen. We couldn’t do it without you.

Riders can expect a link to photos and a post-event survey tomorrow. For now, enjoy a little extra time to relax and soak up the rest of the long weekend.

Thanks for joining us!
