Sunday, 25 May was Day Two of the 2025 Cottonwood 200. I had intended to ride gravel all weekend, but the weather had other plans. Lots of overnight and early morning rain turned the gravel to mud that few chose to deal with. That put me back on the road on the Tricross for the first time in a long while. Day Three got washed out altogether. You can see my own ride reports at Garmin Connect or Strava.
