On Sunday, Laura and Ted King welcomed 450 of their closest gravel-riding friends to their new home state for the inaugural Rooted Vermont gravel race. On Friday, we previewed the new event and the Kings’ experience as race directors, not race racers.
Rooted Vermont offered routes of 82 and 45 miles, and it was based out of the Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond.
The Kings implemented a “Mullet Protocol” for the race. Business at the front, party at the back. We have a look at the business end here, but knowing a gravel event, the real winners were likely those in the party part.
Race participants also have the chance to vote for the Mullet Protocol Podium rider based on who best embodied the gravel spirit during the weekend.
Fresh off a cyclocross season where she finished 6th at the 2018 Louisville Nationals, Regina Legge took the Rooted Vermont win. She narrowly beat out Carla Williams. Jessica Cerra, Rachel Cohen and Olivia Dillon made up the rest of the wide-angle podium.
The Men’s long-course win went to Lane Maher. Mike Barton finished second and Tim Mitchell third, with Kai Wiggins and Jordan Fields rounding out the wide-angle podium.
Full results for the Women and Men’s long course are below. Full results are available here.
