The Gravel Classics are nearly over, but the Lowell 50 is shaping up for an unforgettable adieu. 

The weather looks like rain and the winds fast on race day. More and more riders are signing up as late additions to one of the final tests of the spring calendar ahead of some serious tests in May and June. The “Thriller” is, of course, growing into one of the crown jewels of Michigan’s calendar, and it’s drawn out some outstanding riders for the race.

All eyes will be on BISSELL’s Nate Williams and Derek Graham, with Einstein Racing’s Ryan Kennedy a dangerous rider looking to surprise. Can BISSELL ride away into the 25mph headwinds, or can the pack keep the fast men in check long enough to break up the duo?

Check back Saturday evening for photos and race results, plus the worlds best race recap right here. The very best of luck to everyone taking the start in Lowell. Bring your rain gear, your best legs, and your suitcase/carry0on of courage.
