Gravel for George

On February 23, 2024 George Saunders IV was struck by a van that was traveling 60 mph while he was on a training ride. The suspect did not stop; leaving George stuck in a ditch for 40 minutes with many broken bones in his ribs, leg, neck, and back (in 6 places). His L1 and L3 vertebrae were crushed, requiring emergency spinal cord surgery. George spent 17 1/2 days in the hospital learning how to walk again. With the suspect still on the loose, George is forced to pay expensive medical bills without being able to work. Without Limits is teaming up with City Bicycle Company to host a gravel fundraiser to help George in his recovery. The event will be held at George's favorite place to race/train where he has claimed 4 victories: Holly Shelter Game Land. The 2 courses available will be the same courses raced in July at the Holly Shelter Gravel Grinder. This is a perfect way to get to know the official course, have a great time, and help a fellow cyclist.
