What happens when you show up to race... but miss the start because you're filming the race director for a documentary? That’s exactly what went down at Granny’s Gravel Grinder, a Central Minnesota gravel race hosted by Chase Wark and Wark's Cycling Services. With over 400 riders across multiple distances, the event brought big community energy, rowdy midwestern grit, and hospitality only Chase can deliver. For JP — back in the gravel game for the first time in two years — it meant lining up Dead F**ing Last (DFL)* after capturing pre-race footage for his upcoming docu-series on Chase.
Despite the late start, the day turned into something far more meaningful. The post-race celebration held a surprise for JP: a brand-new Lauf Siegla and a sponsorship offer from Wark Cycling Services to support his storytelling work on The Stable Cyclist. This video captures the ride, the vibes, and how JP's work has shaped Chase's life over the past year. Whether you're here for gravel racing, cycling documentaries, or the power of people supporting people — this one’s for you.
