The Mid South - Behind The RISE: Episode 01

The Mid South Gravel is the one of gravel, and American cycling's most prestigious races. Located in Stillwater, OK this Spring Classic throws every challenge at the riders over its 100 mile course. Muddy conditions, hilly course profile, and strong winds make for an epic day on the bike.

CINCH rider Lauren De Crescenzo overcame a multitude of setbacks and a slew of stiff competition to a solo victory in the women's category while finishing 15th overall.

Our videographer, Troy Fairbanks, captured all the action from the course recon and team meeting to "the attack," and race finish. CINCH rider Holly Mathews rode strongly to finish an excellent 4th in a World Class field. Matt Jablonski was our top men's finisher finishing in 10th.
