It’s a big week for Lauren De Crescenzo (Cinch Elite) – in the span of six days she got married and she won Unbound Gravel 200. The ceremony with Jim Snitzer in Colorado followed by a stop in Emporia for a “honeymoon” was expected, but a redemptive ride in the 200-mile gravel race to finish solo as the queen of gravel was not.

“This is my honeymoon. What else would I want to do this weekend? Covid makes it hard to go anywhere, so I think this is a good spot right now,” De Crescenzo said after the race.
