Holy Spirit and Gravel Dad recap The Growler, a pro race during Levi's Gran Fondo. Is this the salvation of American road racing in America? Or just a road race re-skinned as a gravel race? Americans got to turn on Youtube and watch a pro race called by British prestige cycling voices Matt Stephens (NOT Lauren's husband) and the pride of greater manchester Hannah Walker. We're a long way from a cafe ride and the spring classics.
