When it comes to gravel road racing I haven't found a better tire than the Vittoria Cross Evo XN. This tire is light, fast and ultra durable. Aside from the tread wearing down when the paved miles add up, I haven't had any trouble using these tires for gravel riding. With the new season fast approaching, I'm curious to know what you folks have been riding. I've seen plenty of Small Blocks and a few Speedmax rolling around out there. Are there any better than what I'm on now? Let me know.
I got a message from Jake at the Ragnarok headquarters. It looks like they're going to take registration in two phases. The first window (now through whenever) is open to those that have ridden the event in the past and the second (starting December 1st) is for everybody else. They're only taking 80 people this time so get your ducks in a row and get signed up.

Having some doubts about whether or not you and you're equipment can stand up to 100+ miles of riding? Check this lady out and maybe you'll come around to see that you're probably wrong.
