Trish's story: Keuka Lake Gravel Classic

BaseCamp athlete Trish Vantucci shared her experience at the 2026 Keuka Lake Gravel Classic bike race in New York.

This was my 2nd year doing the Keuka Lake Gravel Classic. A lot changed for me personally this year, and I ended up missing 3/4 of winter BaseCamp training, so wasn't sure how this race was going to go. I decided to just ride my bike and enjoy the ride. It turned out to be a beautiful day, and the course was in good shape. The organizers did a great job to ensure there was plenty of support on the course. It was a wonderful day and I will definitely be back next year.
