Rothrock water bottle

Every great race has merch—giveaways or items available for purchase. To start, a waterbottle was designed to give away to all race participants. The design included the GRIT logo and sponsorship logos for Specialized and Happy Valley Women’s Cycling. The race had evolved at this point into three lengths, which were referred to as Gritty (25 miles), Grittier (49 miles), and Grittiest (65 miles). A sketch of the elevation changes was used and broken into three distances separating them with the sponsor logos.
