    Josiah Middaugh might humbly say he’s only “doing damage control” when he races these days, but the clock tells a slightly different story.

    There isn’t much more the steeplechase can throw at Val Constien at this point. The former Battle Mountain and CU runner dealt with chronic injury and illness early in her career.

    When it comes to unveiling Bighorn Gravel 4.0, race founders Mike Brumbaugh and Jake Wells are sticking to their proven recipe. “Right now, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” Wells said ahead of the fourth-annual gravel bike event, which rides out of Gypsum on June 22. “We just want to continue doing what we’ve been doing and make small little tweaks that can hopefully make for a little bit better experience for everybody.”Last year, over 500 cyclists competed across 85, 50 and 20-mile races.
