Frank's story: Dirty Kitten Gravel Race

BaseCamp athlete Frank Giresi shared his experience at the 2025 Dirty Kitten Gravel Race in Virginia.

Dirty Kitten gravel 20 miles,5 personal bests, made it up 19% grade without walking. Lots of mud and another hot ride. Acclimated well this week, bike camp teaching kids to ride on 105 degree black top. Stayed well hydrated. Did better than GRUSK with earlier start.
