The Growler
Fresh off of his win at Sea Otter, Keegan Swenson took a hardfought sprint victory after 14,000+ feet of climbing over the picturesque King’s Ridge route at The Growler, in Northern California. The richest one-day of racing on the calendar with a diverse roster of competitors, both the men’s and women’s fields featured many of LTGP stars and new faces, hoping to make a name for themselves and take home hard-earned dollars.
On the women’s side, LTGP headliners Sofia Gomez-Villafañe, Axelle Dubau-Prevot and defending champion Lauren De Crescenzo came up short in overhauling late-attacker Lauren Stephens, just 20 seconds back.
Cecily Decker and Paige Onweller also finished in the top-10, in 7th and 8th respectively.

With skinny road tires but plenty of mixed terrain climbing, The Growler caused every rider to dig deep.
