Canadian National Gravel Championships were last weekend and the event hosted 3,000 participants.  American Cyclocross National Champion, Curtis White won the race.  The first Canadian / Canadian Gravel Champion was Evan Russell.  Ashlin Barry won the Junior Category and was 12th among the elites.  It was a sloppy, slippery affair.  This short video will give you a sense of the conditions: Carnage at Harrisburg

Ashlin was riding on a Mariposa Allroad bike with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, Princeton Carbonworks GRIT wheels and Maxxis Rambler 700c x 38mm tires.
