With a New Year we always look back to see what went right and what did not go as planned. One thing that went really well was joining Team Latitude Elite Racing. I have missed the old days of riding and race promotions. As some of you might know, I became a nurse after the pandemic. Nursing is a great profession, just not for me. I have decided to leave the profession and return to race promotions, repairs, and racing. With Team Latitude, we will put on an MTB stage race in Leaky, Texas, tentatively set for April 17-19, 2026. We will host an uphill TT, Short tract, and mass start single track MTB course. I am returning to Leaky, TX next week to finish trail work and finalize the details with the town of Leaky. Event location is Bushong Mountain Bike Park. More coming next week

We are announcing today that the Texas Gravel Championship will not take place on June 27th in Rosebud, Texas.

Last week, USA Cycling provided detailed guidance about measures that should be put into place for events permitted under USA Cycling. After reviewing this guidance in detail, we have determined that we have neither the financial nor the volunteer resources needed to put on our event as scheduled and in compliance with USA Cycling’s current COVID-19 guidelines.

We also do not wish to compromise the integrity of the Texas Gravel Championship by shortening the event and/or changing its format as we feel strongly that the route and current format are truly worthy of a championship event.

We look forward to bringing back the Texas Gravel Championship to Rosebud once COVID-19 considerations are no longer an issue. Refunds have been issued to everyone who registered online via BikeReg.
