Lex Albrecht a Part of Life Time Grand Prix
Cyclist, Lex Albrecht will be racing the Life Time Grand Prix series on BMC bikes
The Life Time Grand Prix is described as the newest off-road cycling series. The best cyclists in North America applied to be a part of the series in late 2021. Initally 20 rideres of each gender were accepted into the series, but the event promoter, Life Time, incresed the limit to 60 riders shortly after the application deadline. 30 men and 30 women were selected to compete across six iconic races on varying terrain for a $250,000 prize purse, split evenly between men and women. The off-road series includes 3 mountain bike races, and 3 gravel races. Lex Albrecht was awarded a late acceptance, and is gearing up for the first race in the series: Sea Otter Classic.
"I was surprised, and thrilled to learn that I was accepted into the Life Time Grand Prix. This is the first time that I'll be aiming to perform in mountain bike races throughout a season. It's going to be a challenge, a thrill, and a lot of fun. I've been doing a lot of cross training recently, and I'm hoping that any gains I've been making will carry over well. Most of all, I'm looking forward to really enjoying the experience."
