Adam Roberge won the inaugural Big Sugar Gravel 103-mile race in Bentonville, Arkansas on Saturday.
“The first part of the course was really difficult and technical,” said Roberge in a post-race press release.
“People were having trouble, or people were dropping because they were too tired and the group started getting smaller and smaller and it turned into a gravel race. I put the hammer down on a climb and after that I knew I was still feeling pretty good.”
When asked if he had fun, Roberge said, “It’s a weird kind of fun but I did.”
The marquee Big Sugar event offered a 103-mile course of challenging roads through the Ozarks with approximately 8,000 feet of elevation gain.
