What do a motorcross racer, an ICU nurse, a police officer, a top chef, a gym owner, accountant and congressman have in common? It’s a pretty easy answer - a love of gravel riding! These faces all belong to some pretty special people who put themselves out there and enjoy riding or racing gravel. We wished we could have captured everyone’s face on race day. Whether you raced or rode, we salute you. You are the spirit of gravel. Sending a virtual Double High Five 🙌 🙌🙌 to everyone who rode or raced DR Distillery Gravel!!

We’re back and talking the Men’s winners of DR Distillery Gravel! The guys turned out in full force to ride a competitive fast race in the Men’s categories. Due to a course marking error on our part 🤦‍♂️, we decided to have 2 sets of winners for the 90 Proof Men’s Open. 🏅🏅

90 Proof Men’s Open winners who followed the course markings:

1st 🥇 Ryan Johnson
2nd 🥈 Anthony Grinnell
3rd 🥉 Jordan Snyder

1st 🥇 John West
2nd 🥈 Nathan Melhorn (not pictured)
3rd 🥉 TJ Kretzler (not pictured; SWB Ambassador)

We’re completely sorry about the error. 😥 For record, even with that extra mile, Ryan Johnson from Floyd’s of Leadville Racing shaved off more than 5 min off David Galaţi’s time in 2022. Congrats to the Men’s Open Winners and to all who raced this category! 🏆
