Race 5: Atomic Dog

Words: frankenpilot

GGR hosted race five in our six race series. Last week was a cardio challenge, this week was all speed down Atomic Dog! Big thank you to Transition Bikes Outpost who hosted the Après. Transition is both a race series title sponsor and a GGR team sponsor. Steve and crew at the outpost rolled out the red carpet for us. Owner Kevin Menard started marinating the bulgogi days before the race! Kerry Young and the OutPost eats crew served up deliciousness from the truck as well. What can we say, the perfect way to end a perfect day. The weather, race, and community was EPIC! Thank you so much for the love and support.
