True grassroots gravel. ​Just finishing it's 11th year, that is what the 2021 Gravel Worlds is.
Hosted by the colorful Pirate Cycling League www.gravel-worlds.com/pirate-cycling-league, this race provided an unparalleled challenge for the gravel "pro" and enthusiast.

Diablo Cycling's Jon Lester raced his new Giant Revolt on the "Gravel Worlds" distance of approximately 150 miles and over 10,000 feet of climbing on rural gravel roads.

​In Jon's words: "My goal was to hang with the pros for as long as I could, with a stretch goal of finishing with them. A stretch that was. I lasted 30 miles with them (including a chase back with @davehaase_ultraracer after an attack popped us off).  At 30 miles, I knew I wouldn’t be able to maintain that effort and still finish, so I dialed the power back and watched the pros race off. I had some dark moments in the 121 miles that remained, but I finished, and finished the best I could that day. Thanks for all your help @t2mcoach!".

As quoted by Jon: "My #giantrevolt (was) ready thanks to Recyclist Bicycle Co. They put together the perfect bike for this race. How they found the parts and made it all come together is a miracle!! I’d be forced to use my mountain bike for this race, if it wasn’t for Recyclist."
