With just one month left until the Coon Fork 40 gravel race, the excitement—and nerves—are definitely starting to build. This race, known for its challenging terrain and scenic views, is the perfect test of endurance and skill. I’ve been putting in the miles, but there’s always that mix of anticipation and doubt leading up to race day. The thought of tackling those rugged gravel roads, unpredictable weather, and the relentless hills is a bit daunting, but it’s all part of the adventure. I’m ready to see how the months of training stack up and to push myself to the limit. With only 30 days to go, it’s time to dial in the last few training sessions, fine-tune the gear, and get mentally prepared for one of the most exciting challenges of the year!
