Well, most of the team has left Colorado now and starting making our way back home. I think I can speak for us all when I say that Greg and Alexander did an amazing job on Sunday. The course conditions were challenging – the rain was threatening, and just before the start we heard that…
Just another day at the office for Greg Tracy… Grinding the Multi’s kickstand and foot-pegs as he charged his way up Pikes Peak to victory.
