(Cover image by Wild Glass Photo) We interviewed San Diego County local, Michael J. Macare on his evolution as a gravel rider and how the gravel scene is taking shape in Spinergy's backyard... A couple years ago, a near miss in a traffic incident changed Michael Macare’s outlook on riding bikes exclusively on roads.  After getting cut off while cycling, he was nearly hit by a car, only seconds later to then be nearly hit by the vehicles that maneuvered to avoid collision with that car.

In late 2018, I came up with the crazy idea that I wanted to race the Leadville MTB 100 – the nation’s highest and arguably hardest one-day mountain bike race. I had a buddy who had raced it years back, and said it was terrible and he would never want to do it again.
