Old Man Winter Rally is an early February event in Lyons, Colorado that includes an often-snowpacked trail climb that tops out at 7,500 feet.

I tested Ventum's redesigned GS1 gravel race bike in the 100K event, and caught up with a number of the front finishers at the party in the park afterwards.
