Devo U19ers Howard Lake Shootout


On the last week of practice, the Devo U19 Mens team headed up to Devo Alumni and U23 Specialized Team racer, Howard Grotts’s house for its annual fun ride/race day. Every year the team takes the 30 min drive past Lemon and rides Howards’ notorious high mountain training routes. The team competes in a short TT, a super d and a trials comp. This year the team was treated to a new trail on Howards property called the Bandit Trail. Fun stuff, Thanks Howard and good luck at Worlds!
