Santa Vall Gravel stage 1 Hill Climb; Gravel Earth Series event one

Full race, with commentary and power, speed, heart rate, and grade data. This was the first race of my season, stage 1 of the three stage Santa Vall Gravel in Girona, Spain, which was the first round of the Gravel Earth Series. This race had a unique format. They called it a "prologue", but ran it as a mass start, which made for one of the more unique race experiences I can remember. 2 minutes of flat pavement, followed up ~3 miles straight up a super steep, rough dirt road climb.

Thanks to everyone that's commented and sent messages about our Mid South video next week. I'll publish stage 2 of this Santa Vall race using the same format in a few days. Give us your feedback and we'll keep trying to make these a little better throughout the year.
